Hi, I'm reading about creating an app. I'm going to have the programming outsourced cause I know nothing about it.
When I'm designing my app, how do I go about getting the background, or little icons used for settings, back arrows, front arrows, etc. I guess I'm saying how do I get the "look" of the app that I want and the UI I want.
I want to leave the programmer to just program. And provide him/her with the design elements.
Do I need to create all the design elements myself? Are there stock icons that are free to use for simple things like back arrows, settings button, send to icon, etc. I know some do it on their own if they know Photoshop. If I don't and want to hire someone, am I looking for a graphic designer? Illustrator?
For general icons I mean like this
http://www.uistencils.com/collections/frontpage/products/iphone-stencil-kit
I know that tool is helpful to layout the design but how to get that design into the program?
If I'm doing it on my own on Photoshop, are there resources I can look at to know what size the background should be? Or what size the icons should be?
Hope this makes sense. If not I'll be glad to try and help clarify what I'm asking.
Thanks!!
