Intro to Adobe XD | Noble Desktop

Learn what Adobe XD can do for your design workflow. This free class is for anyone new to UX design (user experience) and UI design (user interface), new to Adobe XD, as well as designers with experience in other design apps. We’ll even discuss how Adobe XD compares to the competition (Figma and Sketch) to help you decide which to use.

Modern digital design apps like Adobe XD, Figma, and Sketch have been created specifically for designing websites and apps. You plan the UX, design the UI, and turn them into working prototypes all in within Adobe XD. Designers who have been using Photoshop and Illustrator are switching to apps like Adobe XD because it has more features for UI and UX design making it easier to use for those projects.

This is the perfect way for you to see what Adobe XD can do before diving into one of our hands-on courses such as our Adobe XD Bootcamp, Web Design Certificate, Visual Design Certificate, or Digital Design Certificate.
