My designer works in indesign, designs for 1x and scales up. As long as you know that images are 50%, it's much faster then doing everything in even pixels.

- flixic 14y agoI can't imagine how app design in InDesign should work. Yes, InDesign has some effects, but they are not the same quality and power as PhotoShop's, and overall many of the tools lack pixel-precision that is needed. Sure, it can work 90% of the way, but I'd recommend designing only in PhotoShop - it is the tool, best optimised for that.
- hmbg 14y agoI'm just an amateur, but I like to design as much as possible in vector graphics (I use inkscape) and then switch to bitmap (gimp for me, photoshop for most I guess) for the finishing touches. Makes it so much easier to scale stuff.
- gdilla 14y agoPS is really heavy. It's powerful, but cumbersome for app design. Indd is way faster if you're designing up flows. You can change a color universally, embed things in different files in one command, you can set styles for type so every header, subhead, paragraph, etc, is the same, and you can change that all at once across all you files/design. And if you make a style guide, it's a lot faster.
