UI Animation with Flinto and Sketch 3 - Workshop!

What this is

Let’s learn to do some simple but awesome UI animations using Sketch 3 and Flinto. We’ll do it in person, in a small group (18 max), one-on-one. The old-fashioned way.

We'll first learn the basics of Sketch 3. Then we'll jump straight into creating our first simple animation on Flinto. Then we'll do a couple of simple mobile app projects where we'll learn to add screen transitions, layer animations, controlling elements with continuous interactions like scrolling and dragging, and exporting our prototype so we can share it with others (and yeah, we'll do some gifs too). How cool is that?

Who is it for

This is a workshop for anyone interested in mobile app design, UI animation, and prototyping. We'll be focusing on using Sketch 3 and Flinto. Beginner to intermediate levels are welcome. If you already know Photoshop, Illustrator, or other design apps and want to add Sketch or prototyping apps to your toolkit, you're welcome too!

You don't need to be a designer to learn how to use these tools. If you're a developer or a product manager that wants to learn how to turn your ideas or wireframes into a reality, this is the workshop for you.

Who is this NOT for

• If you're already a Sketch master, then maybe this is not the workshop for you, since the first session will be focused on learning the basics.

• This is not a coding workshop. If you're looking to learn how to develop ready-to-implement code for web or mobile apps, then this is not for you. But, this workshop will teach you a couple of great tools for prototyping, getting a feel of an interaction or a flow early in the process, before investing in engineering time.

Why?

I started Sketch Together because I want to share the knowledge of using Sketch 3 and other tools for mobile app and web design. I want to give a new take on the old way of teaching; one on one, in a small but efficient workshop. Packing the important stuff in two intense hours. At the end we will have designed a simple mobile flow and put on a live prototype.

Why are you charging?

The workshops used to be free but now I'm requiring a small cover to fund expenses on my part putting together the content. If at the end of the workshop you feel you didn't learn some good stuff I'll refund you your money :)

Looking forward to creating awesome stuff with you!
