Getting Started with Sketch: Design a Beautiful Profile Card

Do you still design your website or app the old way in Photoshop? Do you want to know a better way to create UIs? Time to start something new and dive into Sketch App, the best tool to design great-looking interfaces and icons. Sketch is fast, light-weight and easy to learn and just costs a fraction of Adobe's pendant. In this class web-designer Christian Krammer will create a Twitter Profile Card and show you everything you need to know about Sketch.

Christian has shared his knowledge about the app for the last two years on sketchtips.info. Be sure to have a look at his site and follow him on Twitter @SketchTips.

Who is this class for?

Everybody who wants to be better at Sketch or just wants to find out what it's all about. It's great if you have some designs skills or already know your way around the app, but if not you are also ready to go as Christian will teach you everything you need to know.
