What Is Adobe XD?
August 5, 2024 2024-08-05 16:29What Is Adobe XD?
Adobe XD is a vector-based UI and UX design tool that you can use to design anything from smartwatch apps to fully fledged websites. Let’s look at what it offers web designers and why it’s so popular. ► Download Adobe XD graphic templates: https://elements.envato.com/graphic-templates/compatible-with-adobe-xd?utm_campaign=yt_tutsplus_TfdrHObZ8zY&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=youtube.com&utm_content=description
Adobe XD was first introduced as “Project Comet” back in 2015 at the annual Adobe MAX conference. Back then, it offered a breath of fresh air for anyone still using Photoshop or Illustrator for their UI design. After all, the web presents very different design challenges to print.
XD was developed from the ground up, specifically with UI and UX design in mind, so it has loads of features that never existed in other graphics applications.
What is Adobe XD used for? What’s important to remember is that Adobe XD addresses the two main problems Photoshop and other graphics applications couldn’t:
• Interaction design isn’t static. A designer cannot communicate a fluid and dynamic design using pixels alone.
• A modern design process involves more than a polished finished article. Wireframing, iteration, and behavior are all part of the collaborative decision-making with UI and UX design.
Adobe XD is ideal for vector-based UI design, wireframing, interactive design, prototyping, and high-fidelity web/app design, for solo designers or whole teams.

@Climbingkitten
I don't understand. Is XD a testing app or can you make actual websites with it? Is it meant to be used to create websites? Do you have to download external programs to work with XD? What's the purpose of XD?

@GPerez-rz3tp
I see this was made 02/2021… Adobe over here trying to charge $9.99/mo for it after the free trial… Anyone know a way around this? At least like a one time payment type deal? I despise having too many subscriptions.
@joelpolanco4682
Great video. Thank you so much for the clear explanation!
@codismith1903
If this was free it sure isn't now. There's only a 7 day free trial.
@aperezvoyages
Nice short breakdown of what this app is and itʻs purpose! Coming back to web design/development and man this is so useful since the days of Photoshop designs 🙃

@Principleporcha
Thanks
@doodlememes

@cosmicdot.

@dlasky
Still mad that I wasted time trying to use this garbage of an app… it lacks basic features like a fckn ruler and has features no one asked for, like a PERMANENT border on grouped layers that blocks suttle effects you are trying to add. 😡😡😡
There are countless problems with the app but this was my last staw: You need to double click to select a layer, which is fine, but if you accidentally double click a shape layer it turns into a path and cannot be undone later! 😡😡😡
My advice for anyone trying to switch to XD: DONT! Try Figma or Sketch.
@DaniMezgebe
I don't know how to thank you!!! the previous videos i watched were very confusing and you made it very clear and simple. Thank you for that!!!!!!
@kurtchristel4035
I still kind of don't get it. Prototyping what. What specifically is it doing for you?
@late_arvie
Silly question. I know decent Ps and currently learning Ai (getting there quite quickly). Should I move to XD next for landing some UI/UX jobs or something else? Thanks.
@shortvideoads81
Thank you sir for information
@abozeco
Does Adobe Xd support adding Google ads within the app during design?
And thank you very much.
@maciejka1
xD
@johnweak322
I have only used Ps and Ai in designing and just knowing what XD is all about just now makes me realize I am missing out the other adobe apps. One question, where do you actually build the, let's say website, after designing it on XD?
@anthonyzeal6263
Transferring assets to webflow is no problem. But how would you recreate auto animation fx? Please don’t say anima plug-in.
@bambangwitoyo4812
Thank you for the clear explanation.
@gon1568
Whenever people talk about this software, I thought they were just laughing =.=
@comditek4264

@clubbinmag3
What I don’t understand, once you design something with xd.. THEN WHAT?
