It’s always nice to get a peak behind the scenes of a new application before it hits the market, because you can see some of the decisions that the designers made to get to the final product, and you can imagine what decisions you yourself would have made in their shoes.

Sebastiaan de With of Cocoia recently worked with Phill Ryu and Andrew Kaz to create Classics, a new book reading app for the iPhone, and Sebastiaan shares the steps involved in creating the app design, creating the logo, and creating the overall look and feel of the app on his blog.

Matt Gemmell created Favorites for the iPhone, a ‘Speed-dial with style’ application that lets you dial your contacts by face instead of name, and created a very thorough and lengthy blog post about UI design decisions he made along the way, as well as some of the lessons learned during the development process with regard to creating software interfaces for the iPhone.
If you’re the type of person that enjoys knowing the decisions behind the design, then this post is for you, as it leaves no stone unturned in the quest to build the perfect app.
