Lots and lots of people have proposed alternate English spelling
systems.  Just google for "English spelling reform".  I did a non-
serious one which can be found here:

I also use the Megdevi script regularly to write English.  More
info on it can be found here:

I'd say more conlangers than not have created a non-Latin based
writing system for their language.  I've created 10 (if you go to
my site, click on any language, and click on "orthography", you
can see a description).  To see some of the many orthographies,
you can go to Langmaker:

Or even Omniglot:

There's lots of stuff everywhere on the web.  Google is your
friend.  :)
