Jump Start Your Designs This New Year with These Free Adobe XD UI Kits for 2019

UI kits can be valuable components of a designer’s toolkit, with each one containing a collection of elements that you can use alone, or in tandem with your own library of UI elements. At Adobe, we’ve been tapping top designers from around the world to bring you new UI kits every month that can help you ideate more quickly and save time when creating mockups. These elements have included screen layouts, navigational elements, color palettes, and typographic styles. Our hope is that they give you everything you need to build any type of experience you’d like, from e-commerce, to social networking, to voice experiences.

UI kits also provide an opportunity to work with and learn different UI patterns and techniques, or to experiment with a new style or concept. They can be instrumental in helping designers step out of their comfort zone and try something. So whether you’re looking for elements with a specific project in mind or just wanting to experiment with a different kind of UI, here are some of our favorite UI kits for Adobe XD, so far:

XD Auto-Animate Kit: Everything you need to bring animation to your designs

This animation kit from Howard Pinsky provides examples of micro-interactions, UI elements, drag effects, and more, to be used in both mobile app and web design. Each of these examples is easily customizable; all designers need to do is design the start and end states and Auto-Animate will do the rest. The Auto-Animate UI Kit also includes examples of parallax scrolling and animation states for a website.

Tractiv UI Kit: Everything you need to create a fitness-tracking app

Tractiv has many social and gamification aspects that are key to users getting the most benefit out of a fitness app. When you have a reward system that incentivizes you to achieve – such as dragging chips onto the interactive calendar – and a system that encourages you to share your progress with friends and family, you create more motivation for users to delve into fitness. With Tractiv, you can choose from various screen designs for a modern UI and specific use cases, or quicken your workflows with Repeat Grid, and apply different overlays to simulate real user interactions.
