Design Size

Piero1987

Hello, i use photoshop to make my desing, but i don't understood at what pixel i have to draw, because the resolution of iphone 4 is 960x640, but depends to the ppi, becuase the iphone 4 have 326ppi, and photoshop have 300ppi, so how i can know what is the perfect size?

You need to use 72ppi or the images will look blury..

ok so the background at 960*640 72ppi right?...or there is a better resolution?

Not really!
Just check "Resolution Independence" and build your app or game.

RI is amazing and works wonders

ok so i can use 1024x768 if i want to make my game to ipad in future, and check resolution indipendent, so it right for all device, and i don't redraw all design right?

No, where did you get that?

1024 x 768 is used for iPad and iPad only

960 x 640 should be used for iPhone4

480 x 320 for anything prior to the iphone 4

if you are developing a game for the iphone, do yourself a favour and make your graphics 960 x 640 AND CHECK RI
By doing so, your game will look great regardless on which iphone it plays

ok, but if in future i want make my game for ipad, i have to draw again all design?

Keep your eye on Market place forum thread. Darren will be posting more information on his/waynes project resizer which is a program that will be able to convert iPhone to iPad project and iPad to iPhone and resize all the images and scenes.
