Why, what, how

Thanks for opening this article! This is first part of AdobeXD from scratch series. With these articles I aim to show you the process of prototyping. It does not matter if your goal is to design a website, an app or something else. The important thing is that protyping has huge advantages and nowdays it is an important skill to have. In every article there will be the tutorial part, resources part and inspiration/challenge part where you can practise everything explained in the tutorial. So why not learn it if it is pretty easy? Sounds interesting? Lets do it!

Getting started - requirements

• Adobe XDThis piece of software from Adobe is the most important thing to have. It is the place where we will work all the time. And the good news? In contrast with other Adobe software, Adobe XD is completly free in the basic version. Do not worry, it has pretty much everything we need to start. Download by visiting their sitehere.

Resources

• Behance
  Great website with inspirational content you can use for your future work. For quicker use I recommend creating an account there.

• LetsXD
  I aim for teaching you all the needed basics but you will have to discover more functions and ideas by your own! The best website for this is LetsXd.com. Website originally created by Adobe itself to help get started and keep going with the whole prototyping concept.

• Dribble
  Another great website where you can show your work and explore great designers and their unique work.
