are the fonts you use, especially made for the certain project, or do you use existing fonts?
your work is an everyday inspiration for my work as a gui designer! i wish i could do a gui like yours for a real client. greets

I was wondering about the same kind of questions that Minu asked.
Im in my final year of study doing computer science at university and this looks like a really interesting area to work.

As a designer myself I’d like to ask:
1. Where do you draw your inspirations?
2. What tools do you use to digitally collect and organize inspirations for your work?

The corner bevel is a handy little device. Without it, it is just a bar of color. The problem you have on-screen, is that subleties are lost. The camera rarely lingers and does not go in that close. You have to imply that something is something or does something by other means. In user interface work this is called affordance. You can use the same techniques in the screens to quickly and visually say this is or does something. It is not just a bar, it is a title, a tab, a button. You cannot see the fine edge beveling on the button and you do not want to use too distracting colors as the focus should be elsewhere on screen.

The other reason of course is inspiration. I always loved what people like The Designers Republic did for games like Wipeout and have always enjoyed integrating elements like that into the work.

I honestly am curious about these design choices, especially if there was some thought put into them. Thanks!

Oh, and I add my voice to the chorus of praise for the designs.

Terminator Salvation was not me. As far as I know, the screens in the labs were done by Asylum and the Vision systems by Imaginary Forces.

Cheers Mark

mmm… Terminator: Salvation is also your project? (waiting to hear “yes” and look at the interfaces… ^_^
