Design Tools

Figma

Since 2022, we use Figma as the main design tool. Learn more about Figma.

Sketch and Abstract DEPRECATED

Before the Design Chapter moved to Figma, we have been using Sketch as the main design tool. Learn more about Sketch. And Abstract was used for version control of (Sketch) files. Learn more about Abstract.

Slack

We use Slack as our communication tool. As a designer of George Labs it is recommended to join those channels: #designteam, #designteam_research, #designteam_sketchlib, #design-testing and #george-design.
Additionally there are several dedicated component channels in Slack. To follow the design-development alignment of a specific component, it is recommended to join them as well. Search for #gds-web or gds-app in Slack to find web or app specific component channels.

As a designer from other entities of Erste Group working on George related content, it is recommended to join the channel #country-designers.
