Damien Correll, Creative Director at Figma, shares how the branding for 4th Config came together.
Now that @figma #config2022 is a wrap, I wanted to briefly share how the branding came together. It was the 4th Config—my first—however I’m not a stranger to design conference branding (hello Schema and 7 @googledesign SPAN events). pic.twitter.com/I37ERPR3t4

Figma built a fantastic interactive page showing great possibilities provided by variable fonts and how to use them in Figma. It’s been a year since Toni Gemayel built the Variable Fonts plugin, and I’m happy it finally became a native feature.
Hosts of the Design Details podcast, Brian Lovin and Marshall Bock, cover all of the exciting new releases from Config 2022 and do a deep dive into the new version of Auto Layout.

A million thank you's are in order. As we've grown I can't quite keep up with every contributor with these props posts, but at the very least I wanted to share the product designers and ux writers who worked on SO many (15!) launches at #Config2022 today 👇 https://t.co/4MrDYg3gkg
If you don’t have 30 minutes to watch Dylan’s keynote, check out the What’s New in Figma page showcasing all announced features in a beautiful way.
Figma CEO Dylan Field kicked off Config 2022 with opening remarks and the launch of 15 new features, ranging from favoriting files to a new version of Auto Layout. At this point, I’m more excited about Dylan’s keynotes than Apple’s. Love how every Config makes our lives better by addressing real problems and small annoyances.
