iPhone Contacts Application Prototype Example

Friday, August 13th, 2010

iPhone Contact Info Prototype Screen DesignNow that we’ve posted an updated iPhone Library of GUI design widgets (v1.1), it was time to add a new example to the Gallery that makes use of it.

The iPhone Contacts application prototype example is based on the built-in Contacts application on the Apple iPhone. It was built entirely from elements within the library, very quickly.

Here are some of the key areas this example demonstrates:

  • The typical structure for an iPhone application prototype project in GUI Design Studio.
  • Putting together a Quick Concept flow of the application.
  • The basic elements needed to create the screens.
  • How a typical screen design is put together.
  • How to create a scrolling section on a screen.
  • Flipping between portrait and landscape oriented designs.

The project files can be downloaded from the example gallery page.

I hope this example will help you get your iPhone application prototypes off to a flying start!

Following last week’s launch of GUI Design Studio version 2.2, we’ve had quite a few questions about what it’s really capable of and maybe you’ve been wondering about that yourself.

We figured the best way to answer that was by way of an example prototype design. The trouble was, we didn’t have anything big enough or suitable enough in-house and we certainly can’t share any of our customers’ designs.

So we set ourselves a challenge. What could we put together quickly as a good example? Not a simple 5-screen demo, but a fully fledged application. It needed to have real-world appeal and be the type of application that’s familiar to as many of you as possible.

The answer was staring us in the face… (more…)
