It's going to look similar to....

I'm sure you've all seen the fantastic demo of fluxiom. (If not, you should check it out. They are building a very nice looking application.)

Since I started working on my designer service I knew the color scheme of the application had to be gray, black, and white. (I said in my first post about the UI, "(Here's a hint on the color scheme I'm using. There isn't one.)")

As I stated a few posts ago, I've changed the way the UI presents the "pieces" a graphic artist is displaying to the client from my original idea of showing them REALLY LARGE to the thumbnail approach.

I'm not going to show you my UI screens just yet (I'm still polishing them. :) ), but I'm kind of scared people are going to think I'm attempting to rip off the fluxiom UI. Both apps are gray, black, and white, have tabs across the top, display images, and present them in a thumbnail view.

Now, I'll state for the record that their UI (and the way it functions) is at least 47% more bad-ass than mine. Maybe even 74%, depending on which time zone you're in and your distance from the prime meridian.

On a side note, I'm really curious to see the exact feature set of fluxiom. I know they are an "asset management" application, but I'm wondering if they will have a client-approval feature. The first version of my app is pretty much just that. (Hey, I'm only working on it nights and weekends! I have grander plans for the app, and a series of related apps, but like I said, "nights and weekends".)
