I just get my wife to do the GUI's.  I used to get my daughter to but she is
3000 miles away now sniffle.  Of course I have been thinking of getting a
trained monkey to do it and I have been known to pay a college student for a
few hours, because I like supporting the economy.

Guys like me, with a vision impairment, but not blind can provide
quick feedback on GUIs.  A class on GUI development is a great idea.
Sina takes pride in being able to hammer them out quickly, and then to
incorporate feedback from his sighted friends.
