(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Basically me and a mate are going to try and design an app this summer. Im on graphic design duty. I have experience in graphic design and I reckon I could do it but was wondering if anyone knew what the best program to use was and if there are any good tuts on making like, sprites. I mainly use Photoshop but Im thinking Illustrator might be a better program? but Im not sure.

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, wasnt sure whether to put it in 'Ipod Discussion' or 'Graphics Discussion'.....

PhotoShop > ALL OTHER EDITING PROGRAMS, that is if you're any good.

Yeh I've used Photoshop for several years, I reckon with a bit of practice I could be good at it. Just wondering though when it comes to making say, a sprite, or a game map, is Photoshop really the best option? Is that what all app designers use? What did Rovio use to make the graphics for Angry Birds I wonder...

Wrong, various programs can be suit various jobs. All of which are dependent on what the users is best at.

You may want to use a combination of the 2, but it really depends on what you're most comfortable with. Personally, I'd just get it all done on photoshop as that is the one I have the most experience with and know my way around.

A combination of the two as in, Illustrator as well?

Cool. Just need to find a way to transfer Illustrator and Photoshop from my old computer to new now... :/

in angry bird they would have used llustrator and may some photoshop
but i would use illustrator for the charcters and maybe the menus
and photoshop for the backgrounds and others stuff

Great cheers thanks for the advice
