Intro to Sketch - Beginners guide to Sketch Basics |

description
Sketch for Mac one of my favorite digital design software of all time. If you're just starting out with Sketch or debating on whether you should make the switch this tutorial is for you. LIKE FREE STUFF? //////////// If you're interested in my thoughts and experience on the topic download my free ebook called "Make Your Portfolio Count" http://eepurl.com/djC53b Remember to Subscribe https://goo.gl/6vCw64 I have been using Sketch for over 2 years full time in my design work and I realized I have never done a basic intro to Sketch that covers all the topics a beginner would need to understand the Sketch basics. So here it is Sketch for Beginners... a sort of 101 class so to speak. In this video, I cover all the basics you would need to know you start using Sketch for Mac today in your professional design work. By the time you're done watching the video, you should be able to download the program, install, start making amazing things, and wonder why you ever waited to make the switch.If you are still using something like Adobe Photoshop for digital design it's time for you to experience something better. In this video I cover: - Benefits to using Sketch - Brief tour of the UI - Artboards - Setting up a grid - Working responsive - Pages vs Artboards - Adding Shapes - Details panel - Setting up text styles - Using symbols - Alignment, Measure & Adjustment tools - Plugins - Exporting I know it sounds like a lot but stick with me and hopefully, you'll learn everything you need to know to starting making amazing designs in Sketch.
