Posted to Design copy collaboration tool - Scribble - is open for public beta, in reply to Vipul. Mishra , Jul 25, 2018 Posted to Experiences with switching from Adobe to Affinity, in reply to Weston Vierregger , Jul 18, 2018 Thanks for your answer, didn't think about all of our psd mockups
Posted to Our symbols guidelines in Sketch: Move fast and don't break things, in reply to Juan Vaamonde , Apr 29, 2018 These are visuals made to explain our guidelines.
Posted to How to create a looping gif of a screen capture?, Apr 10, 2018 First start with a screen capture of your application. https://support.apple.com/guide/quicktime-player/record-your-screen-qtp97b08e666/mac
You can also record your iphone of ipad with quicktime, just plugin the cable. http://osxdaily.com/2016/02/15/howto-record-iphone-screen-mac-quicktime/
Via photoshop you can edit your video and make it into a looped gif. https://support.apple.com/guide/quicktime-player/record-your-screen-qtp97b08e666/mac
If you don't want to use photoshop you can use some online free converters. https://ezgif.com/video-to-gif
but in my experience you get pretty crappy results from these because you can't really control the quality settings.
Posted to Has anyone used Supernova.studio?, Apr 09, 2018 I have tried it for a few hours.
I wasn't able to convert my Sketch file to supernova. I think it's stil pretty beta and it doesn't support some things like nested symbols.
They do have a slack group where they are very reactive and I really like their vision. Will keep an eye on it.
Posted to How do you submit / present your deliverables to the client, Apr 09, 2018 What kind of deliverables are you taking about?
We use Invision to present our designs to the client. If we do not do the development internally we use zeplin to handover our designs to external developers.
Posted to Sketch guidelines for a team? , in reply to Ashish Bogawat , Apr 05, 2018 Sounds familiar :)
We switched to Abstract for about 8 months now. Solves this specific use case. https://www.goabstract.com/
Posted to Do you sometimes work with UI Kits to speed up your design process?, Apr 05, 2018 For wireframes we use axure with our own made library. I think UI kits are usefull if you want to express your idea very quick. But I would not use it for a final design.
I think it limits your design creativity and you would use a lot of defaults without thinking about it ( font sizes, margins, line-height )
Posted to Sketch guidelines for a team? , in reply to Andrew C , Apr 05, 2018 A shared library sounds like a great solution!
We have to create a design system for every project, we don't work on one single project or one single design language.
Do you start with a generic library and then edit them for the new project?
Posted to Sketch guidelines for a team? , in reply to Artur Eldib , Apr 05, 2018 If you use Figma, what guidelines would you setup for your team? Or do you let every designer have their own way of working.
Hi I've tested it and found it very usefull.
Some questions: - Will you support symbol with overrides - Any way to indicate which layers in sketch have been updated? When someone changes copy you need to visualy check everything to make sure nothing is broken.
