    Figma works on Windows, Mac, and even in browsers, unlike Sketch which is Mac-only.
  3. Final Answer:

    Figma -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    Collaboration + cross-platform = Figma [OK]
Hint: Collaboration + cross-platform = Figma [OK]
Common Mistakes:

    Sketch has a strong ecosystem of plugins, making it powerful for Mac users.
  3. Final Answer:

    Sketch is ideal for Mac users who want powerful plugins. -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Mac + plugins = Sketch [OK]
Hint: Mac-only + plugins = Sketch [OK]

  • Assuming Sketch works on Windows
  • Thinking Sketch has built-in collaboration
  • Confusing Adobe integration with Sketch
3. If a designer wants to use Adobe Creative Cloud apps and needs a cross-platform design tool, which tool fits best?
medium
A. Adobe XD
B. Sketch
C. Figma
D. Affinity Designer

Solution

  1. Step 1: Check Adobe integration

    Adobe XD integrates well with Adobe Creative Cloud apps like Photoshop and Illustrator.
  2. Step 2: Confirm cross-platform support

    Adobe XD works on both Windows and Mac, unlike Sketch which is Mac-only.
  3. Final Answer:

    Adobe XD -> Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    Adobe integration + cross-platform = Adobe XD [OK]
Hint: Adobe apps + cross-platform = Adobe XD [OK]
Common Mistakes:

4. A user tries to open a Sketch file on Windows but it fails. What is the most likely reason?
medium
A. Sketch is Mac-only software and does not run on Windows.
B. Sketch files require Adobe XD to open on Windows.
C. The Sketch file is corrupted and cannot open anywhere.
D. Windows needs a special plugin to open Sketch files.

Solution

  1. Step 1: Understand platform compatibility

    Sketch is designed only for Mac OS and does not have a Windows version.
  2. Step 2: Analyze file opening failure

    Trying to open Sketch files on Windows fails because the software is unavailable, not due to corruption or plugins.
  3. Final Answer:

    Sketch is Mac-only software and does not run on Windows. -> Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    Sketch Mac-only = Windows open fail [OK]
Hint: Sketch Mac-only means no Windows support [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Assuming Adobe XD can open Sketch files
  • Blaming file corruption without checking platform
  • Thinking Windows plugins fix Sketch file issues
5. A team uses Mac and Windows computers and wants a design tool that supports plugins, Adobe integration, and real-time collaboration. Which tool should they choose?
