5. Return to the client and convince them it's what they wanted.
I didn't mean to come off as an *** or disrespectful, again I am thrilled that Veilside is involving the community. I was merely suggesting that criticizing other designs might not be the most productive way to results.

I hear you on the process, I won't get into my job details nor delve into my design philosophy. I guess the point I was trying to make is that we are not the designers, we are the clients.

I like the open forum for discussing design direction and I am happy to be a part of that. But I don't want to hear why things won't work, I want to discuss solutions to what we would like to see. I am sure there are plenty of great ideas out there within the community so I hope people speak up, and I hope Veilside can take the feedback and do what they have always done so well, and make a killer product.

I will keep digging up some examples and try to relate their features to the 370 and how I would like to see it. I look forward to the results.
