This morning I came across a great article on Overdesign for IPHONE applications. While the article focuses primarily on new IPHONE design the same holds true for all aspects of UI Design. Consistency is your key to a usable application.

Recently, I received a copy of Flair Builder , a new wire-frame, mock and interactive prototyping tool. As many of my readers know, I am very much for utilizing paper prototyping for the first few iterations of a design. Of course, when I need to present something to a client I try to clean up the design as well as illustrate complex interactions. This is where a tool like Flair Builder can come in handy.

So I am bringing back the UI design challenge and wanted to try this a bit different. I want this to be an interactive experience. If you listen to my audio blog posts: http://boo.fm/b29310. I talked about recent research I was conducting to locate a new house.

I’ve been extremely busy working on a new article series, as well as some more work on agile ux articles. Beyond that I have added a few things to the web site. The first was linking my TWITTER account directly to the blog. It provides me another way to quickly provide news, articles, etc without having to write an entire article.

Registration was off to a slow start this morning. After finally getting registered met up with some friends. I have some pictures, this post will be updated through out the day with things I find interesting, exciting, revolutionary, or all around RAD.
