Artist's Comments

Lately, I've been focusing on usability when designing a new interface. However...I felt like I was getting tied down with media player skins and their associated features. Sooo, I decided to put usability aside for a while and return to my roots of freestyle interfacing. What I came up with is some kinda fantasy interface for a cool looking musical instrument, most probably a synth.

I feel like I'm back to my usual self now :)

Feedback appreciated as usual.

100% Photoshop, CS3.
3 days work, on and off.

Peace, Lance

You don't have to sacrifice ease-of-use for aesthetics. For this one, if you colored all the actual buttons in the same manner and that was different from non-functioning graphics, you could increase usability without sacrificing the look and feel.

Appreciate the feedback :) Aye I agree with you. I don't mean to come accross as if I'm saying it's either looks or usability, I know you can have both, that's the whole idea. But rather, I just meant that I like to create fantasy interface, elements and functions which can be left to the imagination as to what they do :)

Thanks again mate.

Peace, Lance

bwoy, that's brilliant.

ever considered to create a CD Art Display skin?

skinning CD Art Display is very easy and the only limitation is in your designing skills.

in other words...
...no matter how much you would let loose on the boundaries, you'd still be able to keep a functionality and to actually use your creations on an application.

drop me a line if you want and i'd be glad to give you some first step instructions on the CD Art Display functionality and skinning possibilities. ;)

in my opinion it would be really refreshing to see some non-media-player-like-skins one day. :nod:

anyways...
...big respect for this brilliant artwork again. ;)
