Miggi shows how to be more experimental and expressive with Figma Draw features like progressive layer blurs, texture, and a custom brush. Learn to pair these with Smart Animate prototyping, and you can come up with some novel effects.

First, that illustration from Miggi is very cute. Second, I have no idea how these talented minds at the Figma Draw team made all of these complex visual effects exportable to SVG. Mad respect!

Miggi explains how to document your design work using Measurement and Annotation tools.

The new curved connectors mode for right-brained people. I’ll stick to my neatly organized ​“elbowed” connectors.

Miggi breaks down his favorite features in Figma Slides, including automatically changing text color for accessibility, choosing slide templates from other decks, grid view, slide numbers, live interactions, and more.

Cool page curl prototype by Miggi. Don’t miss the page turn animation on click.

Miggi explains and shows the new export options in action.

Miggi shows a wildly creative application of boolean groups to vector networks.

Prevent accidental removal of FigJam sections by locking the background of a section.

Miggi shows three updates to frame presets in UI3: the first frame dropped onto a blank canvas will land at 0x0y coordinates; when clicking on the canvas to add a new frame, Figma will default to the size of the last-used frame; when using the frame tool, quick-add indicators will appear beside and between frames so you can quickly insert additional frames.

A new introductory Figma tutorial from Miggi, updated for UI3. It covers basic concepts like shapes, vector graphics, typography, resizing, Auto Layout, and applying them all to build a simple user interface card.

In this workshop, Miggi explores approaches to Advanced prototyping in Figma: ​“We‘ll walk through examples using variables and component sets to create dynamic prototypes that are easy to manage and iterate upon. This is an intermediate level workshop and builds on a basic understanding of prototyping in Figma Design.”

Miggi explains how to control the behavior of text fields with visual and keyboard shortcuts without touching the auto width/​height or fixed size controls in the Design panel.

Miggi applies the new ​“Remove background” AI feature, a vector mask outlining the shape, a hidden ​“Show mask outlines” command (that I didn’t know about!), and a simple prototype to create a popping out head avatar.

A 7‑minute tutorial from Miggi on using the new Suggest Auto Layout and the AI features ​“Rewrite this,” ​“Replace content,” and ​“Rename layers.” 

Minimize or hide the new UI to regain more screen real estate as you work.

A quick tip from Miggi on using grids to generate type scale and place graphics.

Miggi reminds us that property labels in Figma UI can now be turned on or off.

Whoa, finally! Can’t believe this is getting fixed a few days before Config. Add bold, italic, underline, or strikethrough font style to a portion of text with an applied style without detaching it first.

The second edition of the UI Battle! Watch as Miggi from Figgi aka The Notorious PNG, Pablo Stanley aka The Layer Slayer, and Mariana Pedroza aka Da Design Thunder take on design challenges, shit-talk, and throw a fantastic performance. This is the only live sport I need!
