Designing for @1x – @3x Without Going Crazy
summary
Argues that pixel‑perfect is dead and shows a concrete 1X workflow: design at 1x in Sketch using vector art, export PDFs into asset catalogs, and implement with Auto Layout and size classes. Claims this cuts export work, lets Xcode generate 2x/3x PNGs, and shipped a universal newsreader app where only three 3x placeholders were added for iPhone 6 Plus — the app adapts to split‑screen and iOS9 without major rewrites.
