Prototypes are now even more powerful, with new ways to upload, edit, and interact with videos. See demos at Figma’s Twitter thread and try it out in the playground. Great follow-up update to the release of videos in October!

“For Organization and Enterprise customers, we improved how the members table in the admin console loads. The new experience starts rolling out today for organization admins and workspace admins. As a result of the change, the members table should load much faster for Figma instances with more than 1,000 users.”

Bloomberg reports (see the Google cache version without the paywall) that the United States Department of Justice is preparing an antitrust lawsuit seeking to block Adobe’s $20 billion acquisition of Figma. A case is expected to be filed as soon as next month. ​“The antitrust division is concerned the deal — one of the largest takeovers of a private software maker — would reduce options for design software used by creative professionals.”

New 3‑part series from Figma: ​“We’ll talk to leaders and managers from teams at Shopify, Ironclad, Twitch, Uber, and more to learn about how they’re rethinking the way they work to keep pace with the outsized change in work right now. For part one, we will focus on the unique view people managers have on the dynamics and challenges at work today, and how taking some simple cues from design can turn that vantage point into an advantage.”

I had to rewatch this tutorial by Double Glitch a few times and it still blows my mind. So cool!

In this series for educators and students, Miggi introduces Auto Layout features and covers best practices and tips for designing layouts that can change with their content.

“In this workshop we will cover how to apply motion and animation when prototyping with Figma. We will cover concepts like transitions, delays, timing, smart animate, and interactive components.”

“This workshop will be a deep dive into the prototyping features in Figma. We will cover many of the basic frame-to-frame navigation prototypes for devices, and touch upon some of the more advanced capabilities that you can unlock with video, interactive components, and sections.”

“We will leverage Figma’s native prototyping capabilities to demonstrate how to collaboratively design slide decks, as well as utilize FigJam’s whiteboards to present ideas while others follow along and give feedback. You can use these techniques to give interactive presentations, engage your audience (or students), and communicate your content clearly and compellingly.”

This new color palette generator took ​“design Twitter” by storm last week, and for a good reason! ​“Poline is an enigmatic color palette generator, that harnesses the mystical witchcraft of polar coordinates. Its methodology, defying conventional color science, is steeped in the esoteric knowledge of the early 20th century. This magical technology defies explanation, drawing lines between anchors to produce visually striking and otherworldly palettes.”
