Nice short breakdown of what this app is and itʻs purpose! Coming back to web design/development and man this is so useful since the days of Photoshop designs 🙃
I don't understand. Is XD a testing app or can you make actual websites with it? Is it meant to be used to create websites? Do you have to download external programs to work with XD? What's the purpose of XD?
XD, Sketch, etc are design applications. They are used to create your design specification, model how key pages should look, and do modeling of how the application or website should work going from page to page. It doesn't create the actual code, but it can create the graphics to use. An analogy: This creates the architectural drawings for the building, but not the building.
I have only used Ps and Ai in designing and just knowing what XD is all about just now makes me realize I am missing out the other adobe apps. One question, where do you actually build the, let's say website, after designing it on XD?
You can use XD to prototype a web page, an application, or even a presentation. By prototyping the UI, you can find usability issues before you actually start to code it.
I see this was made 02/2021... Adobe over here trying to charge $9.99/mo for it after the free trial... Anyone know a way around this? At least like a one time payment type deal? I despise having too many subscriptions.
Silly question. I know decent Ps and currently learning Ai (getting there quite quickly). Should I move to XD next for landing some UI/UX jobs or something else? Thanks.
@@XDXDXDXDHAHAHAHAHHAXDXDXDXDXD a long as you don’t draw a lot of attention to yourself, Adobe won’t notice if you pirate - however if you do jobs you get paid with and have an extensive portfolio and they find out - expect a fancy law suit.
Still mad that I wasted time trying to use this garbage of an app... it lacks basic features like a fckn ruler and has features no one asked for, like a PERMANENT border on grouped layers that blocks suttle effects you are trying to add. 😡😡😡 There are countless problems with the app but this was my last staw: You need to double click to select a layer, which is fine, but if you accidentally double click a shape layer it turns into a path and cannot be undone later! 😡😡😡 My advice for anyone trying to switch to XD: DONT! Try Figma or Sketch.
