David,
You don't need to do it yourself.
It continues to amaze me but... great design can be bought!
I've hired Terza Snyder to improve some of my work and the changes are phenomenal. I could never in 20 years (or 100 design books) come up with the wonderful stuff she has. She knows what she is doing. Engineering/Programming and Design are different disciplines/talents, it is a very rare person who excels at each.

Hello folks,

I am being encouraged by customers to update and improve a Rev built product I produced many years ago. I have a wish list for functionality changes, but I am slightly depressed at how ugly and old the original looks. I have decided to start again from scratch, so there are no limitations on what I can do, other than those imposed by Rev and my abilities (mostly the latter).

I have no background in design, but would like to make the product look better and up to date. I know I can pretty much change the appearance of anything in Rev, but this is a serious product for technical use, so I am not thinking oval windows and faux glass skins. I also strongly subscribe to the view that less is more, so I don't want reflections and things swooshing about. Are there any books or online resources on making software look simple and good?

Thanks

Best Wishes,
