Preview: Design Brief for iPad, Because You Have to Ask the Right Questions

Web designers, this one’s aimed at you. We all know client work can easily become a nightmare sometimes. Well, most of the times somebody would say. Thing is, one of the problems with designers and clients, is that the former don’t really do a good job at first, while approaching a new client: they either don’t ask the right questions, or understand what the client indeed wants. Or perhaps properly store the information they collected about the client.

Design Brief, an upcoming application for the iPad developed by Ben Duivesteyn, aims at solving this problem by providing a beautiful and easy way to capture information about a new client.

Judging from the screenshots we have now, Design Brief will be powered by a delicious and colorful user interface design, it will work both in portrait and landscape view and it will be able to store multiple projects at once.

Design Brief will be hopefully available at launch, and we’re definitely looking forward to it.
