Is Technology Making Design Obsolete?
There’s no doubt artificial intelligence (AI) is finding a permanent home in several industries. Whether we’re using face ID to unlock our phones, a web mapping platform to find the optimal route back home, or built-in text editor software to make sure our emails are error free, AI technology is at play. It is revolutionizing the way that we work and how we go about our daily lives.

Question on: Sketch

Yes, you can use color profiles in Sketch. Sketch allows you to specify and apply color profiles to your designs, which can help ensure that the colors in your designs are accurately displayed on different devices and in different output mediums.
To use color profiles in Sketch, you can go to the "Color" section of the "Preferences" window and select the "Color Management" tab. From here, you can choose a color profile for your document and specify the color space that you want to use for your design. You can also choose to "Preserve RGB numbers" when you save your document, which will ensure that the RGB values of your colors are preserved when the document is opened on a different device or in a different color space.
Once you have set up your color profiles in Sketch, you can use the color picker to select colors that are defined in the color space that you have chosen. You can also use the color picker to select colors from other color spaces and have them automatically converted to the color space of your document. This can help you to ensure that the colors in your designs are consistent and accurately displayed on different devices and in different output mediums.

Question on: Adobe Illustrator

I recommend going through Adobe. If you have Illustrator through Creative Cloud, you can find brushes (and more helpful plugins) in Adobe's Marketplace.

I enjoy using creativemarket.com for brushes and other graphics, there are options for free and paid items

I would even recommend looking at the Envato Marketplace as well. The Envato Elements site has flawed items so maybe avoid that unless you're using a lot of various brushes.

To bring an Illustrator file into After Effects you just need to use Command+ I, or alternatively, File>Import. When you import your project file, you will see a few options appear;
You’ll want to choose to Import as:
✔Footage,
✔omposition,
✔Composition - Retain Layer Sizes.
In most cases, you’ll pick the Composition with Retained layer sizes. What’s the difference between Retaining the layer styles and a standard composition? If you bring-in your file as a composition alone, every layer will be the size of your Artboard in Illustrator; this will require much more work to anchor joints and reposition items where they need to go.
If you import as footage, you’ll be able to import your entire AI file as one item, or you’ll have the choice to select one layer within the Illustrator file.
There’s another way to import your AI file not often-used, and that is to bring-in an AI file into After Effects and convert it to a layered comp in the Project panel. This is a great way to do things if you’re going from an animatic directly into animation.
To do this, when the menu appears for import, bring-in your Illustrator file as “Footage” and select “Merged Layers” under the Layer options menu that appears secondly. Then, in the Project panel, create a new comp out of the AI file by dragging it into the Composition icon. Once you’re in that new comp, you can right-click on the individual file (seen as footage) and select “Convert to Layered Comp”. Immediately after, the comp will turn into a multi-layered comp you’ll be able to create an animation out of.
