Sketch has really changed my workflow. I think it really makes things much easier for developers who work with a designer or just need t cut up assets. Definitely worth checking out.

What would you say is the biggest benefit compared to Photoshop?
[+] mengto|12 years ago|reply
Photoshop has been too hard to use for anyone outside the design community to want to learn. It's the new MS word. The export for 1x, 1.5x, 2x, etc. could be useful for making assets for Android.

FYI: Can't play the videos on Firefox, no supported Mime Type

It puzzles me why Firefox can't support Antialias fonts and the same video types supported by Chrome and Safari. Will find a fix. Thanks for letting me know.

hey kiro, there's a lot I like, but probably the best thing is that I find it fits the process that goes on back and forth between designers and developers. It's really good for that. Few other things: - small team (4) that are pushing many builds a day - really easy to slice and export e.g @2x and 1x - vector, so easy to scale up and down - lightweight - super active community releasing plugins and resources. - it's cheap. - lots of good learning resources

I don't use photoshop anymore. really happy with it

If I want to learn UI design, where should I start?
[+] megafix|12 years ago|reply
Start by copying/replicating designs from dribbble. It's just practice. After you learn how to use Photoshop/Sketch start modifying those designs and try to make it your own.
