Drupal: show content in fancy way

344 Views Asked by At

I have a Drupal site on which users can enter CCK content by uploading docs to content. CCK has title, body, and a set of attached documents and I would like to show the nodes (using views) in a fancy and sexy way to make the application really appealing (I need to make customer happy).
I know that this is a little difficult because document management is not a sexy argument, but I would like to find an original way to show content. Do you know which module(s) can I use?

The question is a bit vague, but here are a few ideas off the top of my head...

If you have thumbnails of the documents, you could display a Cover Flow effect, using the Views Slideshow: ImageFlow module.

Or you could use Views to output a list and theme the list with something like Isotope or QuickSand.

Honestly ? I think that a good design with some nice icons etc... would be a nice starter to make it 'sexy'...

I've used this module jCarousel on a Drupal site to make my content look more interesting. It works best if you have image fields but you can do some simple styling to make a textual view look pretty.

+1 to Matt V. for Isotope, it's what I've been looking for another of my projects! I'd up-vote if i had enough rep.
