My Twitter app needs a complete design overhaul. What do I do?

Posted by josh123 on Saturday February 05, 2011 @07:21AM
from the self-post dept.

So one of the twitter apps I worked on some months back (and let rust) really needs some polishing up.<p>I'm not a designer and it looks like...crap. Where do I go to for some help on this front?

hey, i'd try the following

1. try to ask users of your app if they fancy to help you out, if youre lucky a design-gifted one is among them.

2. if you want to invest little $ try out oDesk.com or some crowdsourcing sites like http://brandstack.com/ http://www.crowdspring.com/ http://99designs.com/

good luck pa

Thanks for the links. I've not "opened up" my app yet, because I've been pretty embarrassed by how it looks. I'd rather get that sorted out first before I unleash it to the folks who might use it!

I would go to dribbble.com and forrst.com and look for designers that you like. Then contact them and ask them for a quote.

well it can't look THAT awful ;) if the functionality is good the first few folks won't mind .

i cant remember who said that: "if you feel comftable shipping your product - you waited to long"
