Specific way the Sketch & Zight (formerly CloudApp) Dream Team are improving design include:
Speeding up the Design Process
From keyboard shortcuts to design hacks, designers love finding ways to simplify the intricate process they know so well.
The Zight (formerly CloudApp) Plugin makes your design process more efficient than you’ve already made it!
Design is a complex art. Simplify the process with Zight (formerly CloudApp) to make it more fluid, simple, and beautiful. (The ‘beautiful’ is up to you– the plugin can only do so much ;))Create your designs within Sketch. Once the design is ready for some good old-fashioned teamwork, simply export your design, link, and share!
Annotate screenshots of your design for added clarity
Design was meant to be visual! Directing another designer through endless body text kind of seems like an oxymoron. Instead, annotate screenshots of your design or snippet to indicate important areas, point out trouble spots, and denote emphasis.
Record Your Screen to demo any design technique
Whether removing a subject from its background or adding a clipping mask, there are a million and one techniques that make up a final design. With Zight (formerly CloudApp), create succinct GIFs that illustrate your exact process. GIFs can be usedto illustrate even the most technical design demo. Great design should be shared with others, so help a fellow designer learn from and/or recreate the genius that happens to be your Sketch-made design.
