[@sakheemehta2785]

I've watched a lot of similar videos but I've never found anything explained so well!

[@DesignPilot]

Thanks Man

[@ahmedyassin2953]

That's True, I am a graphic designer and I am often asked to do the initial design that the programmer will implement. And this video explained to me a many things of my part.

[@ARTushar1]

I don't have enough words to say " Thank you " . You don't know how much you helped me to start app design. I was so much frustrated / confused for all of the devices. But the way you explained everything, its pretty much clear to me now !! Looking forward to see some more great tutorial like this on the topic of " 8PX grid system" and " typography for app ui design" ...... Thanks a bunch bro ! Lots of love and respect for you from bottom of my heart.

[@DesignPilot]

You are most welcome

[@tiueueh]

Wow! When I first designed for mobile, I did too much brainstormed about it. The whole point was "If I am designing on 360*640 what scenario will happen on real-time devices. Cause these days phones come with minimum HD+ screen, what about FHD, FHD+, 2K, 4K?" This video has these answers. Thank you and this is the most underrated channel. Your subscriber, Bangladesh. Can you explain it for the web design too?

Man, this is the one of the best, infact top one from 100's. Videos and articles(including Google/apple guidelines which are complex bro understand for beginners) I read to understand this device specific design and resizing concept with difference between dp/px. Thanks lot for this definitely going to share this as best resource for all my designer friends. And lastly I would really love to see same kind of tutorial for designing for tablet and desktop versions too.

[@DesignPilot]

Glad to hear that

Aspect ratio is width to height. So you might want to say 9 to 16, instead of 16 to 9. I think you're saying that because you've heard people say 16:9 more often (because of landscape devices/ monitors/ laptops).

8:24 You account for top status bar when align app nav bar. Shouldn't you do the same for bottom bars, meaning shouldn't nav application bar be sitting on the top of device nav bar?

[@DesignPilot]

What’s a device nav bar?

[@margaret_rejnowska]

@@DesignPilot sorry if I'm not clear, I'm new to UI design. I mean the bottom navigation bar default for all Android with icons triangle, circle and ractangle.

Hi @design pilot - nice video. If I design for example 320x568 in Figma how can I watch the real size on a phone with a resolution of for example 390x844? I use the figma mirror app but the designs get scaled up. I want to see how it would really look. Thank you in advance!

[@andreatriani]

I need your HELP! So for calculate the right artboard to design is necessary only the ppi value of the screen of the device? And then calculate the right logical bucket?

[@DesignPilot]

If your app is going to be on all devices, design with 640*360. If it’s only on iPhones, design with iPhone 8 or iPhone X frame. Maybe watch the video again

[@judahleslie]

Hi Chethan, just one question when you present the diagram as square wouldn't be called pixel per square inch..so if there is 403ppi when you consider a square inch then no of pixels in that square inch would be calculated as 403^2 = 162409 pixel per sqr inch..is it not ?

[@DesignPilot]

The formula isn’t as simple as that. And I’m not sure how that calculation is made honestly. As designers that information is irrelevant anyway.
