iPhone Contacts Application Prototype Example

August 13th, 2010

Now 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!
