As a matter of fact, I am at this point unfamiliar with any of these tools you mentioned above so your impression was correct. I'm pretty green in this field (other than the fact I've been bashing at design of various iPad's apps for quite some time now).

If you are in a great hurry, then I don't think it's worth wasting your time. We could always arrange it so that you keep working your designs, but give me concrete goals and a deadline. Should I succeed, great, if not, you have still your own work to rely on.

Ok. I've never hired a designer before so I don't know much about how this sort of thing might be done on iPad (or in general for that matter) myself.

I'm still not clear on what your work flow would be. Would you be making a sort of "prototype" in tools that you know that I have to then translate to the actual GUI or would you be working inside the Mac Xcode environment making the GUI files themselves that I can then plug into my program and use?

When designing web, I usually start with simple pen and paper for conceptualizing, then move on to Photoshop, and eventually to HTML/CSS or Flash.

In iPad design, however, I would be willing to learn the builder to the point where I can use the paper/photoshop concepts and hence produce satisfying design. I'm not sure about the learning curve in Xcode yet, so I can not really comment on that.

Fair enough. How can one get in touch with you? I don't see an email when I click your user name.

I can't see yours either. (not sure if you had set one, though, could be a bug?)

I'll just throw it out then: andrus@epic.ee

Let me know which communication method would you prefer, so I can reply to you with Skype or MSN Live initials.
