Posted to 2 Hours left for the new Framer, Dec 21, 2017 Posted to Leading screen design tool in 2018, Dec 07, 2017 It should not really matter, I recently was asked to deliver a design in Photoshop for a large company, it took me 20% more time than it would in more modern tool, but this cost was lower to them than changing their handover process.
I think most designers with a bit of experience is able to work in any design tool easily. When given the choice I do still prefer Sketch, with the right plugins it feels really more like a power user tool to me than any other tools out there right now.
Posted to Good design & UX Slack channels to join, in reply to Rashan Casseus , Dec 05, 2017 this community is super lovely, but how do you manage to catch up with everything though? haha
Posted to The only design tool product teams need right now— InVision Studio, Nov 27, 2017 I'm kinda on the fence about Studio, It's cool to have competition with Figma/Sketch/XD but I use Invision Prototyping regularly and although the UI/UX is well done and relatively easy to use, it really lacks a level of polish, there are often small glitches and bugs that hinder my workflow. I can deal with this as I spend most of my time in Sketch and only occasionally throw together a prototype.
With Studio, which I assume is much more complex than Prototyping, concerns me that the small bugs and glitches will be much more annoying. As I spend much more time in a design tool than a prototyping tool. A small bug could really slow down my my workflow and productivity.
Posted to Logo trademark search?, Oct 23, 2017 I live in the UK so I usually use the UK database for copyright: https://www.gov.uk/search-for-trademark
But the US one seems to work okay too: http://tmsearch.uspto.gov
They both seem to be keyword based though

Posted to Design Events to attend in 2018?, Sep 28, 2017 2018? Here are two I'm planning on attending in 2017: UX Live http://ux-live.co/ (London) Kikk festival: http://www.kikk.be/2017/ (Belgium)
Posted to Watch Film - SOLO NYC: An intimate look at New York’s rising class of creative freelancers, Sep 26, 2017 I wanna watch hours of this, super lovely!
Posted to Design Research: 70% of e-retailers fail this visual hierarchy test, Aug 24, 2017 I think Eyequant might be less accurate or useful than they want to be. Most of these websites are doing incredibly well, and have no issues converting.
Posted to Git for designers is here – Meet Abstract (Video & explainer GIFs inside), Jul 20, 2017 Interesting, this does not seem like a problem I currently have, but I can understand it being a welcome addition to a healthy team workflow.

Downloaded it, and it's so pretty: the the interface and especially the iconography is incredibly well done!
Doesn't feel finished though, image fills, masking and not having a way to create reusable components are the first things that would hinder my workflow if I had to switch.
