User Interface Design with Sketch
Sketch is a new user interface design tool that’s rapidly replacing Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator as the de facto UI tool for designers. It allows you to easily create pixel-perfect logos, app interfaces, website concepts, and - combined with a few other tools - fully interactive prototypes of your ideas.
In this hands-on workshop we’ll briefly go over the basics of how to use Sketch and then jump straight into creating realistic-looking smartphone app designs using some pre-made assets from sketchappsources.com. We’ll also demonstrate how pairing Sketch with a tool like Pixate can allow you to create awesome prototypes that behave just like real apps.
In order to ensure that everyone gains a thorough understanding of the Sketch basics, seating at each workshop session will be very limited. A Mac with Sketch installed will be provided, but feel free to bring your own and install the Sketch trial before arriving.
