It’s been ages since the mobile phone was invented.. and yet, the user interface still sucks.

But there’s one company with a track record of easy user interface combined with beautiful industrial design … Apple Computer.

There’s a short interesting article at Engadget accompanying this photo…

Most of us have experienced this at some point in our lives. A loss of inspiration, a mind blank. For designers, this may come at various points during a project. Typically, it will be when the client asks for a revision that doesn’t really sit with your original concept.

So, how do we deal with that?

Walter Stevenson has written an excellent article that offers some suggestions on how to get through the slump.

For example, revise your notes … realign your goals…

Establish your goals and document them before you begin to design. This doesn’t necessarily mean composing a full-fledged design specification, but it helps to have written notes on hand in the later stages of a project as a sanity check. Ideally, your notes will be part of a larger documentation structure that includes some form of creative brief, project management documentation, and up-to-date client feedback and sign-off notes.

If your stuck for ideas or inspiration, it’s worth a read. So, head over to Alistapart and check it out.
