Brad and I have recently contributed a chapter to a new iPhone book focused on user interface design and experience from Apress – iPhone User Interface Design Projects.

In our chapter we cover much of the process our team went through to create Postage. Along the way we discuss some of the core concepts and models we employed while designing the user experience. There are also plenty of useful tips, tricks and small details that go into any great iPhone application.

Here is a sample of one of the figures from the book showing some of the early mock-ups of Postage :

If you are developing iPhone applications you might want to give the book a browse. Several of the other chapters are very interesting as well. My favorite is Jürgen Siebert’s treatise on fonts. He covers all kinds of great info on type, including a detailed anatomy of letterforms. If you ever wanted to start yourself down the path to claim the title of Font Nerd, his chapter would be a great place to start.

You can grab the book at Amazon or find it on the shelves of any book retailer with a decent selection of software development books.
