Going from the design the designer cam up with to the actual design execution by the developer

Hey,

Great videos! I was just wondering how do you go from the design that the designer implements to the actual execution of the design? Is there a way to take the design from photoshop or Sketch straight to Xcode? Or does the developer have to put all the assets together that the designer provided to re-create with the design on Xcode?

Thank you yousef

Hey Youseef,

I am doing both the design and code for a simple app that I am developing now. Since I am using Illustrator, I can't use the app for importing graphics from Photoshop to Xcode, but it really isn't hard to implement designs, especially with the storyboard. All I have to do is add the images in a specific folder created by Xcode, then add them to the labels, buttons, and image views using a drop down menu to select the image I want on the object. As long as you have the designs, coding will always be harder.

Hope this answers your question! Caleb
