Occasionally, we will be posting previews of Clever Tools. We will highlight specific features, show you sketches, mockups, and final products. We thought we would kick this off by showing you the general look of the GUI for Clever Tools. The preview we are showing has no content to fill it. It looks much better with content. We will show you more along those lines soon.

The original mockup:

Now, I did this mockup. I have very limited Photoshop skills as I am more the ideas guy. This was based off another application I had developed for myself. The icons were borrowed from an open source groupware application.

The intermediate mockup:

A graphic designer took my mockup and we improved on it some more. This was a great step up, but I was still not exactly happy.

The final result:

The intermediate mockup was given to Andrew and he enhanced and tweaked it until we got something we absolutely loved. There are some noticeable changes and some some minor ones as well. Probably one of the best additions is the project selector which you can see at the top of this screenshot. We will cover that in more depth later.
