[gb] Studio

Spry is one of this year’s Boulder TechStars teams. They’re doing some really interesting work in managing development projects, among other things, but as they get closer to Demo Days they needed a new design. From their own post:

“We knew from the start that Spryplanner was going to need a different UI. Our initial layout was put together by an engineer (who shall remain nameless) familiar with firebug and the inner workings of css/xhtml. And yes, the engineer was on [sic] of THOSE types, i.e. all squares and greys. Don’t fault him, he never claimed visual creativity.”

I don’t have much time in my schedule considering the other projects I’m working on, but I’ve really enjoyed taking a quick crack at Spry’s overall UI design. The tight timeline and wealth of information that needs to be organized is different than a lot of web app design I’ve done and, actually, a lot of fun. Simple is hard, but really effective.

The screenshot above is an early iteration of my design for the project. I can’t wait to see where they end up.
