“Don’t make think” should be any UI designer’s motto. It is also true that instinct of a creative person can do wonders.

All those recent wonderful Apple products are the works of two chief creative folks: Steve Jobs & Jonathan Ive. There is no substitute for a creative person's instincts. 2) There are however some standard techniques people employ in new product design (eg. CTQs from SixSigma or QFD - Quality Function Deployment etc). Such techniques are too rigorous and at times can stiffle the creative juices but they are needed for huge projects like designing a new airplane. 3) There is a nice book called "Don't make think". Probably it is a good read before embarking on any software UI design. Some more notes to accentuate your article..
