• Uizard: Figma alternative with low learning curve

  I am a software developer, so doing UX is never my strength. From time to time though, I would resort to using the open source tool Pencil (https://pencil.evolus.vn/) to get a low fidelity mock-up. Lately I've been encountering bugs where images would come out broken when I re-open my wireframe in Pencil. Frustrated of the issue on Pencil, I tried out uizard yesterday, and have been really happy with it. It's... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Quick UI-design tool for mockups?

  Thanks for your replies. I checked some of them out, but I found one on my own that fits me perfectly: Pencil. Source: over 1 year ago

• Best practice to draw/describe UIs in plain text?

  I wouldn't use text to illustrate a GUI. We use Pencil with the crayon-styled stencils to make quick mockups. The crayon styling makes it clear that they're just mockups so people don't poke at the style aspects of the design. We've gotten great feedback from our clients that these are effective illustrations too. Source: almost 2 years ago

  I use MS Visio at work and Pencil (free) at home. Source: about 2 years ago

• A blog web design with Inkscape, what do you think about it?

  Thank you ! Of the ones I have tested, the only one that really works is Pencil, unfortunately, it lacks a lot of functionalities, and it is still far from being as practical as Figma, adobe xd etc. I think Inkscape is much more practical and powerful, but maybe it's just because I'm used to it :).

• 3rd attempt! Compiling everyones critiques from my last post, i think im moving in the right direction aswell.

  The overall shape of this feels off - the lines and shapes are muddy and uneven, with corners having a web-like connection to each edge. Was this autotraced from a sketch? As seen in this playful example I pulled from Google, even if you're aiming for an illustrative logo, you want linework to be CLEAN. Autotracing should be heavily discouraged unless used properly. But if this wasn't autotraced, I highly... Source: 12 months ago

• Modeling a bottle in less than a minute

  I realized it is a bit harder to explain curves in an understandable way than I thought, so while I am thinking about how to do a nice tutorial, I am sharing this somewhat frustrating but a good game to learn and understand curves a bit more :) https://bezier.method.ac/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Not great at Illustraotor, how would i go about making a shape like this neatly? including the darker blue line in the middle. thanks!

  Definitely a pen tool thing. Play this Bézier Game to get comfortable with it:. Source: about 1 year ago
