I’m designing a cool interface to post media for alternote right now. Last night, I was playing basketball reasonably late, but I decided that I would not sleep until I could nail out that posting interface. At 2am, I called it quits.
Why? Because I wasn’t at all satisfied with where my creative mind was going with it. It just wasn’t working for me and it was looking ugly and I wouldn’t want to use it myself.
This morning, I woke up, still couldn’t think of something new or different from last night, but instead, I hashed out last night’s design as if we were going to use it.
It’s pretty damn beautiful now. You don’t know how things are going to turn out until you just do them.
