Sketch Visual Design Exercise

In order to complete this task, I pasted a bitmap of the original app into sketch and then began to copy the various elements and layout. The infinite canvas allows for this and you can move layers and art-boards around as much as you desire. This isn’t as straightforward in photoshop, where you have to create a larger canvas to fit both your design and the design you’re working towards and therefore, not working within the correct design parameters.

It was also great to be able to see both screens side by side, sized correctly and ready to export. Again this is not the case in photoshop and you have to click between screens to view your designs.

One task which took slightly longer to negotiate was the clipping mask which on first attempt seemed trickier than in adobe. Moving layers is also different but once you are aware of this it’s simply a learned-behavioural adjustment for a photoshop user.
