Sketch has tons of functionalities that need us to dig them out. I use Sketch in my daily works, not only limited in web design, but also charts and maps. When I was working on the above map(header image) recently, I found we can actually do some awesome map things in Sketch. Today I’d like to share a little tip here with you guys.

I am sure everyone has sort of knowledge about map legends or remember some map legends in our high school geographic book.

“Is the road like the yellow line with double red lines (Blue Ridge Parkway on the left map) is possible to draw in Sketch easily?”

In Sketch, we actually can add more than one border in one element. You can add as many as you want. Also, we can make different effects by ordering them just like layers.

But remember you need to make border thicker than the one layer(line) above it. So we can see it.

By clicking the middle icon in border settings, we can choose to open or close the borders.

More possibilities…
