I think the interface of an audio plugin can be everything. It should lead the eye of the user towards the most useful features with the highest potential impact on their sounds. Lately I have been taking to Adobe Illustrator to translate all the inspiration I've been getting from the audio workflow I use into my own VST designs. None of these are functional VSTs, yet. I'm always on the lookout to network with people who can help make these ideas a reality.
Granulayer is my first attempt at a full GUI design. It's a granular synthesizer with a musical focus. It takes single cycle loops from loaded sample and allows the user to filter and affect the resulting waveform. 6 hrs.
Some examples of knobs. 3 hrs.
