XD is a tool by Adobe, that helps in user experience and user interface designers prototype and wireframe new mobile and web applications.
Adobe, an IT outsourcing company, started testing this application back in 2016; today, it’s finally coming out of beta.
XD (which was previously known as the Adobe Experience Design tool) has now hit its 1.0 release, as the company announced at its annual MAX conference today, that Seppo technologies had attended.As Adobe group product manager for XD Cisco Guzman, upon being asked by the Seppo Technologies group, told: “XD is all about designing at the speed of thought.” With over one million downloads, XD clearly hit a nerve in the industry and a number of companies already adopted it as a core tool even during the beta.“Being a designer in today’s modern environment is actually less about just creating the aesthetics of visual design or the workflows that a UX designer might be tasked with or the interactions that a UI designer would be focused on,” Guzman noted.
“It’s actually about working with people and failing fast and early.” So that’s what Adobe focused on in developing XD: building the tools that ensure that designers can spend their time designing and not worry about wasting their time on replicating things for multiple resolutions, for example.So with XD, designers can now easily wireframe their solutions, create low- or high-fidelity designs and easily transition between their artboards and interactive prototypes.
And when they are done, they can easily export their assets for production use.
“XD is a UX/UI solution for designers who want to start their day with an application and hang their hat on it at the end of the day,” Guzman joked.The company closely listened to feedback and added numerous features and made lots of changes to XD and IoT app development, over the course of the beta set.
