![]() The files themselves are only part of the story of collaboration. There is even merge conflict danger, if multiple people are working on the same file. ![]() Sure, but that doesn’t do anything besides giving everyone access to those files. They have “Creative Cloud”, which does everything from managing the actual software you have access to, to getting you access to design assets like fonts and stock photography, to helping you share files: Perhaps you have a shared Dropbox folder?Īdobe knows design teams need this. How do you deliver them? Email? Maybe, but that’s a little messy for teams. You have `.psd` files that are your designs. Imagine you do your designing with Photoshop. They’ve made working with the Webflow editor naturally responsive, and you can see it immediately as you work.ĭesign tooling is still figuring out Collaboration Instead, you’re manipulating things that are actually 1-to-1 representations of real web layout properties like margin, padding, and even things like flexbox and grid. Webflow is a unique design tool in that you aren’t quite dragging things around as totally arbitrarily as you would in something like Sketch or Illustrator. Here’s a Sketch plugin called Constraints that is trying to make this easier:įigma has this idea of constraints built right in: This doesn’t completely solve the idea that we’re designing for screens that can be of wildly different sizes, dimensions, and densities, but it certainly helps communicate a lot more than just one size does.īut how do you create all the different artboards you want to create? Copy and paste, resize stuff, and drag stuff around? You could, but design tooling is starting to figure itself out here a little. Software like Sketch has made multiple artboards of arbitrary sizes a first class citizen to help with this. So we can’t just design a 1280px wide version and call it a day. Responsive design is the answer for screens of different sizes and different capabilities. It’s almost taken for granted these days that any given new web project (or redesign) will be responsive design. We have different technological and economic needs.ĭesign tooling is still figuring out Responsive Design We have different workflows these days than in the past. The term “screen design” is common, referring to the fact that many of us are designing very specifically for screens, not print or any other application and screens have challenges unique to them. At the moment, there are all kinds of things that design software is struggling to address.
