Slicing iOS Mockups with Naming Conventions Ready

Naming Conventions for Resources such as images are important in development, but as a programmer we normally don't create the resources we have, instead we delegate them to the designers. It would be an additional effort though, for us programmers if  we are still the one who needs to rename all the sliced images. 

There are common set of images in mobile app that is always present. A nice way to speed up the production of these images is through a PSD template which will be handled by a design team if possible. For now, I'll take as an example an iOS Application.

What helps me so far in my development is this workflow.

I created a PSD Template where the sizes of Splash Screens, Icons, and other stuffs are set.

Slice them one-by-one, and also it would be easier to slice if you use the rulers. After that you can select each slices and rename it also.

With this already setup, it would be much faster, the next time your design team will send another set of designs for, either a new version design of your app or even another application design.

Lastly, when you save the images, what I usually do is save using the original, since sometimes the quality of the images will be a mess when you try and save it using the optimized version.
