Protowire: Prototyping in Sketch

#Sketch #Prototyping #Tools #Plugin

No coding or exporting to other applications:

Rather than something you do at the end, Protowire aims to integrate interaction and animation into the design process without having to change your designs to suit the software.

Integrated into Sketch
No need to export to a separate prototyping application — review the prototype instantly in Sketch or on a device.
UI Animations
Just by moving layers around you can have overlays appear and disappear.
Screen Transitions
Quickly create the flow of your app by linking up artboards from layers or hotspots.
Responsive Design
Use Sketch’s resizing constraints and responsive artboard groups to make prototypes that work on any screen size.

Sketch Workshops in NYC

#Sketch #Workshop #NYC #Advanced

Hello everyone and happy new year!

I am very excited for what the new year will bring us! So much happened in 2017 in the UX/UI Design and Prototyping space!

A big one for me was the evolution of symbols in Sketch and design systems as well as collaboration among team members (❤️ Abstract!), and easier handoffs and if you work with React, lots of exciting things there too.

I’ll be running a few Sketch Workshops in January:
– Basic if you are starting now
– Advanced if you want to learn more advanced workflows or techniques.

Depending on availability, I organize custom workshop for teams.

What would you like to learn or improve in 2018?

💌 Shoot me an email and let me know! 😀

Ciao,

Francesco
