Choosing the Right Design Software
There are so many different UX and UI design programs out there to choose from. It really depends on what you’re designing for. For print design, I use Adobe Illustrator, and I use Adobe InDesign for different pages. Web designers might consider also creating elements in Photoshop or programs like Sketch.
You need to pick good programs that are right for the job that you’re doing. Do a bit of research. Find out what it is that you need to achieve, and find the best program. To create elements, Adobe has so many programs you can use nowadays to do different things. It’s quite in-tune, so it’s very good. It’s a good place to start.
You can use just one program, but generally, you want to really dip into another one and carry on using it. There’s other print software out there. There’re a lot of things that you can pick up for your UI or UX design, and I think it’s really important that you’re using the right ones.
As part of your online UX design education, ask other people in the industry what they are using. Make sure you are using the industry standards, and really submerge yourself in the language of the industry as well. You’ll get to know what people are talking about when you communicate, which will make it easier for you to move and progress within the industry.
