@trc_wm: What is it for? And does it pay?

It doesn't pay -- it's scene related. It will get you eternal glory though..

lol

Because interface design is what every graphics artist dreams of doing. ;)

Ok, ok.. It might not be the most interesting thing on the planet. I've tried designing the interface myself, but I suffer from a lack of style. (hey.. I'm a coder.. what can you do...)

I'm looking for something close to this:


aim: clean & tight interface but still stylish.

So where does the eternal glory part come in?
Personally i can enjoy doing interface design a bit - like many many designers do ;)

@trc_wm: think you might do better with a more promotional talk instead. Explain what you had in mind, ppl might get enthusiastic and join in.

It's for a demo tool I'm working on -- hence the lack of funding.

The designer of the interface will have his/her name eternally glorified and preserved for prosperity when the tool is finished and I upload it to pouet.net.

You will be able to impress all you friends and family; finally they will understand why you spend so much time at your PC (or Mac, or ZX Spectrum etc). They will forgive you for not showing up on Christmas, because you had to attend TUM'08. Eternal love will transcend upon you as your Karma gets a well-deserved boost.

<jedi mind trick>You will accept this motivation and feel fresh & invigorated; these are not the droids you're looking for.</jedi mind trick>

GLORY by definition! :)

trc will charge you thru a gloryhole

trc: if you haven't found someone to do it yet I could give it a go?

trc - just copy the controls from hardsid :-)

I could, but that's stealing.. besides, the sliders are a bit on the ugly side :)

so do you mean interface design or pixeling gradients over buttons so the tool looks like an ugly hardware synth?

more seriously, in my world "interface design" refers to things like user interaction and intuitivity and the likes, but i have the feeling you want someone to provide bitmaps to display on top of your buttons and borders so that things look prettier. not that there's really anything wrong with the latter, but i still wonder if its one of these two you want, or something completely different again :-)

hence my initial reaction.

ps. amv/asd studies user system interaction design, so if you're looking for the first, he may be of help.

The graphics are, of course, a part of the usability of an interface. Getting someone to optimize the usability is a bit over the top for such a project.

I can take care of the usability aspects but for the graphics I need someone with more talent than myself.

I'm not really aiming for a copy-of-a-hardware-synth look. I want it to look nice. (which is quite unspecific - I know) For instance, a 2D-look and feel would be fine.

If this is "just" an internal tool, an elaborate, software ergonomical sound (ha!) interface might be a bit much. Most VSTi hosts have semi-decent default interfaces.

If by "semi-decent" you mean "banned by the Geneva convention for inflicting unjust pain and suffering to the Human Kind", then yes... I agree.

Unless you are a knob fanatic and/or have more than 10 parameters and/or your host application sucks, the interface should be perfectly usable.

if it's just an internal tool, then forget about the graphics and get into the usability. I did that mistake MANY times. Just make sure the interface is pretty much the same as any other tool of the same kind would have. If you're doing a music thing, make it look like a tracker, if it's a demo authoring tool make it look more like Final cut, Combustion or After Effect, etc. And don't care about the look but the usability. If the end user don't use your utility, it's useless :D

that's said, good luck with your skinning job!
