Hi

I am designing for the iphone X the standard template is 1125 x 2436 px that comes with indesign,

But this is huge, the text size is around 50pt for headings and 35pt  for body text when placed on this template.

Do I actually need to set my artwork to the viewpoint size of 375 x 812 pixels?

Just a bit confused with what size to set the artwork.

Any help much appreciated as I haven't done design for mobile.

Regards

      1125x2436 is not an option in the mobile preset template sizes in indesign.  see screenshot below. Depending on the iphone you want there are different sizes and none are that you mention.  I would do the iphone 6 preset at 750px by 1334px from the screenshot below presets.


      Here are the presets in the current version of InDesign CC 2018.1. Note the one Jonathan listed now shows for iPhone 8/7/6:

      The artwork is for visuals to see what they would look like on the various platforms..

      Could you explain how you go from desktop to mobile then from indesign.

      I have designed some artwork to the desktop size and then some to the iphone size, is there a way around this?

      Many thanks for your help.

      You’re not providing anywhere near enough information and still haven’t confirmed it’s a PDF.

      I have created a desktop version of a booking form which I am now translating to mobile.

      Is this a PDF? If so, it’s simply going to scale to the phone’s screen.

      You’re doing a lot of work for nothing.
