Using the menu image rows plugin gives me the header image and a centralised button, but the image is really small, even if I set the image height to be 300 pixels. I'm wondering what can I do to make the image larger - any suggestions?

It came up centralised on my device, but it looks to be showing at about 50x50. I appreciate the correct row image should be 1536(w) x 240(h); I'll try your suggestion and see what the effect is. Ultimately, I'm looking for solution that works for Android and IOS. Comments The current button is 480x480px, which I know isn't standard, but it is a starting point.

Then you can add into the XIB the Auto Layout aspects. (David had a Webinar on this topic, not sure if it was recorded) That way, you will be set just right for all the devices and rotations. Its a good little mini project as a learning platform. I need to do the same! :-) -- Niraj Comments It would be a good time to learn how to make a XIB (you probably already know how to do that).
