What does a quad look like?

Question

I've decided to use "quads" for 2d images for my iOS menu. I intended on making the quad in Maya, but I must not know how...

In Maya (although I'm sure it would be a similar process in any 3d modeler) I'm making a polygonal plane 1 unit x 1 unit, saving that scene as a .mb file, and dragging it into unity. So if I have an image that is 1024 x 1024, I'm suppose to scale this 1 x 1 quad to 1024 x 1024 in unity and then apply the texture? I must be doing somet$$anonymous$$ng wrong here... What exactly is a quad suppose to look like?

A quad is 2 triangles in the shape of a rectangle. You're not "supposed" to do anyt$$anonymous$$ng in particular with it, you just use it whatever way you need for whatever it is you're doing. The scale has no relevance to the size of the image. The only t$$anonymous$$ng you need to do is UV map it.

Do you UV map in unity? And if so, how?

UV mapping is discussed here.
