I thought I’d give a small update on the progress of this little project as I’ve not spoken or said anything about it since Joen joined the team. It’s been nearly over a month since we started working on this little project in ernest. The first 2 weeks were spent discussing options, thoughts, design issues, and everything else under the sun. Many e-mails were exchanged between us, and then Joen got the ball rolling with the first stab at a sketch. Since then it’s been a pretty cool session of photoshop tennis between Michael, myself, Joen, and even our code-fu guru Chris jumped into it as well.

What’s great is that with every iteration you can see the actual design developing more and more clearly. I flick through the original sketch and what we’re currenly on and I just have a massive smile on my stupid mug, because I can’t wait to be able to start using this interface. Trust me when I say that it’s going to kick some major ass in both the design department and the functionality/usability department.

The thing is good stuff honestly takes time. We’re all exceptionally busy people, and something of this scale takes hours of careful thought. None of us are in a rush to get it done for any reason. When it comes out it will be something beautiful, and will elevate the ‘Press’ from the typewriters. In the meantime if you’re really wanting some colour in your blog check out Not That Ugly for something different for your interface.
