The mental model of having a separate master sheet makes a lot of sense to me and I miss that when not using Sketch. The thing I still like about Sketch over Figma is the fact that all symbols (or components) all get sent to a separate master symbol page. Other than that I really have no gripes with the software. The mobile mirroring tool is the only thing, that from time to time, will give me some hiccups and need to be restarted. Just lots and lots of delightfully available shortcuts and more. Things like not needing to reselect a different text layer to edit that text, or the tidy up feature, or finding and replacing multiple layer names. The team at Figma really seems to be paying attention to those super nerdy designer details that appear small on the surface, but can have a profound effect on your day to day as a designer. Collaborating with Vincent was a breeze and I was surprised at just how fast and thoughtful the feature set was within the tool.įast forward a year and it's only gotten faster and better.
FIGMA VS FRAMER FULL
I was very opposed to the idea of a web-based tool for a long time, but I forced myself to give it a shot for the first-time for a full project when I designed the Streamline Icons website over year ago. Now in just 5 short years, in addition to Sketch we now have Figma, Adobe XD, Framer, InVision Studio, and probably lots of others that aren't on my radar yet.įigma has currently taken the lead as my favorite tool to use.
It was 2014 when I finally moved to Sketch as my go-to tool over Photoshop and Illustrator. I continued to use Photoshop and Illustrator exclusively until Sketch gained more and more popularity amongst UI designers.
I used Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks, and InDesign during my Graphic Design studies throughout college. I started my foray into computer graphic creation™ with a super early version of Photoshop in the 90s when "layers" was a new feature. 2020 is upon us people, this is not a drill.įirst, a very brief history of my experience. This is my personal breakdown of the current state of design tools as we have just passed the halfway mark in the year 2019.
