: What Do You Ask From Your Graphical Designer for Your Iphone Apps? What exactly do you ask for from your graphical designer for your iphone apps? I asked my designer exact measurements of images

@Pierce403

Illustrator is typically used for icon/ logo design work, display ads or anything which you might want in very large sizes, like displays outside shop-fronts. In case of an iphone app, Photoshop is what you need. The reason is, its easier to work with Photoshop than illustrator and not every element needs to be blown up to huge sizes. The iphone 5 screen dimensions are perfectly within the domain of Photoshop, and your designer would spend a lot less time designing it.

Well you've got that right there as a graphic designer you can ether use 'pixels' or 'vector' images. Pixeled images get choppy or blocked when scaled very large. Vector images are mathematical vector shapes which will scale perfectly into any size. Perfect for supporting mobile apps or webapps. Since size is important for mobile webapps to support big ipad screens or even small phone screens.

And since the question is "What Do You Ask From Your Graphical Designer for Your Iphone Apps?":
Now as someone directing a graphic designer I wouldn't ask questions about the size let them figure it our but just make sure to them that this would support multiple devices. Since this would be a better business view for someone who directs a graphic designer to worry about. You can ether create webapps which are basicly websites who will scale along any device it's viewed from, if it's a pc or a mobile phone. But these don't have as much capabilities as mobile apps which are installers exclusively for mobile devices but can't be viewed by pc users.

mobile apps = exclusively for mobile -->more capabilities like 3D and local storage

web apps = for all web connected devices --> basicly a smart website, storage online
