It's quite simple to add content from within the program, and you can copy and modify as many parts as you want to fit the project's needs. Here, I've created a component out of the several elements on the first art board that I can just drag and drop into another. I can also duplicate them and move them to their own workspace by pressing Alt + Drag.
The transitions between slides in an app must be seamless and visually consistent with one another. Here, the tutorial showed to me how to animate smoothly between pages by widening the central circular iconography as they go to the centre to create the appearance that it has miraculously moved from the outside of the page to the centre. The interaction menu on the right, which shows a number of options that may be applied to the animation as well as the several transition types, also helped with this.
The XD software provides a seamless and hassle-free import of photos and videos. I've learnt that there are multiple ways to accomplish this from the tutorials. The form tool that comes with XD allows you to construct a variety of shapes, including triangles, circles, and squares. These can then be used as masking tools , allowing the image to take on that shape and erase the unnecessary portion of the original photo.
There is a technique to avoid having to go in and manually change the colour of each element on your pages if, when creating the visual identity for the app or website you are working on, you find that you dislike a certain aspect of the colour scheme. Upon accessing your library, you will see various tabs, including colours and components. Each of these sections details the colours and styles of the materials you are utilising. After that, you can select the colour area and use the plus sign to see every specific colour that XD has detected.
I also followed along with another tutorial that demonstrates how to browse an app's interface using tap animations. Basic interactions are taught while working on an adventure app to demonstrate how to connect numerous screens through dragging arrows to connect different buttons to different pages in order to navigate smoothly. The tutorial also covers sticky headers and fixed scrolling locations, which are useful tools for prototyping since they offer clarity and give stakeholders or clients a more realistic experience while checking out your app or website.
To design a successful user interface for a mobile app, a big part of what makes it easier to navigate is to keep the header and navigation tools such as the search bar and the arrow key at the top of the page as the user scrolls down to view the content. A way to do this its to make the header 'sticky' so that no matter what point you are at in the scrolling process you are able to see which page you are on and easily switch between the content that you want to view next. This makes it easier to navigate and also more aesthetically pleasing. The only one of them that I have actually used since is "V" to return to the select tool. Usually, when I want to draw a shape, the time saved by using them is so small when compared to clicking on the side bar, so I never really got into the habit of using them. But, with select, there are situations when you just want to use the select tool and it is very quick to hit "command Z" then "V" to quickly undo and restore the selection.
