Many people have asked me about the whole YouVersion design process. How did that happen, how did you design it etc. etc. etc. so.........
Here's the story.
After sending a couple of designs to Terry Storch and company at Lifechurch.tv I was extremely honored when asked to redesign the UI(user interface) for the BLACKBERRY version of YouVersion.
* If you have the latest version of youversion on your Blackberry then you are familiar with this design. If you don't, go get it here - http://www.youversion.com/bb/
Below is just a quick snapshot of the different design phases we went through while designing the UI.
One of the most beautiful parts about designing this with Lifechurch.tv and the Digerati team was that it was done completely through the internet and over the internet. No flights across country, No crazy meetings, No hotel rooms, just a few passion driven people with knowledge and internet connections.
