Where can i download some good software design document ?

Question

Right now i am designing a software, and i need some good documents for reference.

Where can i download some good system design or UI design documents ? by the way, i don't want just some document template.

Thanks in advance!

It's a bit hard to answer your question because it's a little vague. Are you talking technical documentation (eg low-level and/or high-level designs, architecture documents, etc) or more business-level documentation (eg requirements, functional specification)?

I would say of these the func spec is the most important, in which case I'd suggest reading:

• Painless Functional Specifications - Part 1: Why Bother?
• Painless Functional Specifications - Part 2: What's a Spec?
• The Project Aardvark Spec

for a good intro and a good sample func spec (last link).
