Figma is like Sketch in the browser with real-time collaboration.

With the limited time I had with it, I can already say with confidence that it’s far more polished and production-ready than in my first experience with Adobe XD. It also has three invaluable features that set it apart: real-time collaboration, vector networks and version history. It can handle dozens of designers working on the same document, at the same time without breaking a sweat. Last but not least, this tool is really fast, easily handling 20+ Artboards in a single document.

The course Expo Info Design is an exposure course on different aspects of presenting and organising information to make communication of information visible, efficient and effective.

The course will cover Information Theory, Ordering of Information, Methods for Structuring and Visualisation of Information, Display of Qualitative Information, Process of Sorting and Categorising Information as well as Introduction to Information Architecture.

The lectures will draw upon examples from a wide variety of application of Information Design that include: Web indexing and organising Menus, Knowledge Visualisation, Sigange and Wayfinding, Maps and Diagrams, Graphic Interfaces and Displays, Interactive Information Applications, etc.

This is my first story and it won’t be a long one. Actually it’s more of a heads up/tutorial to people who want to use Sketch but are bound to their Windows operating systems.
