Overall Satisfaction with Sketch
As a designer in a company of Windows users, Sketch unfortunately isn't used as wide-spread as it could be because it's a Mac-only application. However for me it handles a number of uses in doing user interface design and user experience. To name a few uses:
- Symbol Library allows for reuse of UI elements
- Prototyping brings ideas to life
- Clean interface brings efficiency to the design process
- Prototyping. Create interactive designs, publish and share for feedback
- Design Library. Create a library of commonly used design elements from type to icons
- Continually Updated. There's always something new happening with Sketch, it's updated frequently with new and better tools
- Tools. Sketch allows for third-party app development so that the community can make tools that work with Sketch
- Photo-editing is minimal
- Work flow symbols would be nice for building flow charts
- Prebuilt templates would be cool
- Save lots of time!
- Allows for creative thinking
- Encourages growth in UX profession
Sketch is quite different from Adobe Photoshop. It's not built for photo editing, which is a good thing. It has just-enough in that area to get you by. Sketch is much more suited for creating websites as a design professional. The app is very fast, streamlined, and easy to use. I like the lightweight feel of Sketch as apposed to Photoshop—it doesn't have stuff I don't use.
