Still, actually figuring out how to do that is a daunting prospect. Well be daunted no longer, amateur interface nerds: UI Sketcher for iPad gives you the same simple, intuitive toolset that the pros at Box UK use to generate ideas for their big name clients.

Evolution By Design – Latest Project

Vahe Berberian is somewhat of a renaissance man. Paining, writing, entertaining, thinking, his work spans a variety of media. Successfully showcasing such a diverse range of art-forms is a daunting task.

Vahe’s new website manages to meet this challenge by housing a vast amount of work in an elegant, simple to navigate site, one with a strong design that accentuates his work, not distract from it.

This new site also features a blog section, adding yet another channel of communication and expression for Vahe and allowing him to interact with his followers more frequently and intimately.
