Designing clothes for game apps requires that you consider the size of the screen.
Designing clothing for game apps requires that you think on the same scale and in the same color as the computer screen. Because small screens don't lend themselves to resolution, small patterns on fabric will not always come out with any visible level of detail. Because different computer screens are color calibrated differently, the colors that look so great on your computer might not look so great on someone else's screen. This means you will often have to design not only for fashion game trends but also for trendy devices and screens.
Instructions
1. Make a set of test images that contain clothing. Size these images for your game app platform on which they will appear. Make larger images for game apps that will be run on large-screen PCs with home theater-like screen sizes. Make smaller images for game apps that will be run on small screens found on cell phones or smartphones.
2. Download a test game app to each of the devices that your game will run on. Upload the test game app to the website on which the game will be viewed.
3. Examine how each set of clothes you designed looks on each different type of device. Look not only at different devices, but at devices that, although the same device, have different screen color settings. Record these differences in a list so that you know which devices are more suitable to your overall design style and which are not.
4. Redesign the clothes that did not achieve the effect on the devices you wanted to achieve it on. Examine the background your clothes are on and the level of detail that can be seen on the device screen. For small screens, trend toward clothes that are a single color or have distinct blocks of color. Avoid clothes that are designed with details that include many different colors. The colors and details may not be evident on a small screen and may create a completely different color than you intended on a larger screen.
5. Examine fashion trends in game applications. Look at the fashions that are popular on mobile phone game apps, and then look at fashions that are popular on PC game apps. Make a list of the colors used in the more popular clothes, the clothes styles and the number of different colors used in the clothes. Use an online color-analysis tool to find out the exact color used for clothes that are currently popular. Gear your clothes designs around these trends to ensure that your clothes are in style and will display as intended.
