Adobe XD:\u00a0<\/strong>The Definitive Guide (FREE)<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"xd<\/h1>\n

What is Adobe XD?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In case you are new to the UI\/UX design world or you have spent the last year of your life on a desert island,\u00a0Adobe XD (aka Experience Design)<\/strong> is a new design and prototyping tool developed by Adobe. <\/span><\/p>\n

By using one unique powerful tool, XD allows you to easily wireframe, design and prototype web & mobile products and experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Adobe XD was previously known as \u201cProject Comet\u201d and was launched in February 2016,\u00a0<\/span>as a preview version and only for Mac, with a very limited amount of features. <\/span><\/p>\n

Month after month, Adobe released new updates, adding more and more features based on the feedback received by its growing user base. <\/span><\/p>\n

At the time of writing this guide (Aug 2017), Adobe XD has grown into a solid and fast piece of software, available as a Beta version for Mac OS, Windows 10, iOS and Android.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Adobe has yet to disclose when the Beta testing period will be over and the full version of XD will be released.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Download XD<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Adobe XD can be download for free\u00a0from here <\/strong><\/a>for both Windows and macOS.<\/p>\n

You can also download the free XD mobile apps from the\u00a0Itunes App Store<\/strong><\/a> or the\u00a0Goole Play Store\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>, allowing you to preview your designs and prototypes on mobile.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Shape the future of Adobe XD<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The XD product team has done a great job so far in listening to users’ feedback. You can contribute in shaping the future of this product by participating in\u00a0the\u00a0XD Uservoice forum<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You can post feature requests, raise bugs and check the status of what’s been suggested and reported so far.<\/p>\n

Also, make sure you follow @AdobeXD<\/strong><\/a> on Twitter for daily news and updates about Adobe XD and UX design in general.<\/p>\n

About this guide<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Although still in Beta, Adobe XD’s set of features keeps on growing with every monthly update, so I thought it would be useful for the whole XD community to have a complete and up-to-date written guide<\/strong> covering every single feature included in XD.<\/p>\n

You can use it as a quick reference if you don’t know or don’t remember how to do something. Or if you are a total noob, you can read it from the beginning and get to learn Adobe XD step by step.<\/p>\n

It has been structured as a big 11,000 words<\/strong> written tutorial, spread across 26 chapters<\/strong>, starting from the very basics at first, and then gradually moving on to more advanced topics.<\/p>\n

It’s quite easy to navigate by using the chapters list on the left (or at the bottom on mobile) and I tried to write it as a more conversational guide, rather than a cold software documentation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I really hope you find it useful, it took me quite some time to create it! I will soon provide a PDF version too.<\/p>\n

Ready to start?<\/strong>\u00a0Then check out the second chapter:\u00a0The interface.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
