I.What is Figma?
Figma is a powerful and innovative collaborative design platform that has radically changed the way teams work together to create web and mobile design. With its advanced features, Figma empowers designers, developers and stakeholders collaborate in real time, share interactive prototypes, and create high-quality mockups, all in a cloud-based environment.
II.Understand the basics of Figma
Figma is a powerful tool that offers a wide range of features, including:
- Vector design tools to create illustrations, icons and logos
- Grid and layout tools for creating user interfaces and website designs
- Tools for creating interactive prototypes of designs
- Real-time collaboration of teammates on the same project
- An asset library for sharing and reusing design elements. You can store and share design elements, such as icons, images and text
III. Effective management of design and component libraries
Optimized management of design and component libraries can help you save time and improve the consistency of your designs. Here are some tips 👍
- Name your elements clearly and concisely.
- Organize your items by type, project or other relevant criteria.
- Use tags to classify your items.
- Create reusable components to avoid reinventing the wheel.
- Document your design and component libraries.
IV.New features and innovations from Figma
Figma is a constantly evolving tool and new features are added regularly.
Dev Mode , a new space in Figma that accelerates and simplifies exchanges between design and development. With Dev Mode, you will more easily find the information you need to start creating. You will be able to generate production-ready CSS, iOS or Android code fragments from your design. You can also use a plugin to customize the code to whatever infrastructure you’re using.
- Figma Plugins : Figma Plugins are extensions that can add new features to Figma. There are plugins for everything from creating prototypes to integrating with other tools such as Blush, Wireframe, Uihut, Breakpoints, Stark and many more.
- You can now build more realistic prototypes with fewer frames and connections. And with the addition of variables, you can now unlock a new action type called “set variable” so your interactions can be much more dynamic.
Figma has become an essential tool for many design and development teams, providing them with an integrated solution to collaborate, iterate, and create high-quality products. Its innovative, collaboration-centric approach has propelled Figma to the top of the design industry, and it continues to play a vital role in the evolution of modern digital design.
