Impressive lightsaber loader effect by Vijay.

Vijay always finds the most remarkable applications for the new Figma features. This one uses the new duplicate and rotate.

New plugin for Vijay Verma for creating a beautiful stippling effect.

Vijay Verma made a tiny plugin to simplify the vector editing workflow when working on illustrations. Here is how it started: ​“After releasing UI3, people have been complaining that the boolean task is a bit hard to find. So, I thought, why not create a tiny plugin with some of the most commonly used options for vector work?”

There are three simple ingredients of a realistic illustration: gradients, shadows, and noise. Vijay makes it look so easy!

Vijay Verma shows how ​“Figma Slides” illustrations were made.

Rob Hope interviews a design wizard Vijay Verma. ​“Vijay Verma is a talented designer renowned for his intricate Figma art and his extensive portfolio of free digital resources. In this episode, we explore his humble beginnings as an electrician in India and his rise to become one of the most beloved designers in the Figma community. Additionally, we have a special case study where Vijay walks us through his character design process, complete with a bonus time-lapse recording he sent after the interview.” 

Vijay is doing his magic with a modular illustration built from components.

Vijay Verma’s new project is a collection of over a hundred abstract shapes with cool grainy gradients. It is available as a Figma Community file and React package and is free for both commercial and personal usage. See the behind-the-scenes process on Twitter.

Vijay shared his collection of loader prototypes in the community.

Vijay challenged himself to create a small set of icons in 2 minutes — that’s just 12 seconds per icon! My takeaway is the importance of a good starting grid template (like this one from Font Awesome) that saves a ton of time and helps with consistency.

Vijay took his old experimental prototype (see issue #89) further by teaching a head to talk! Smart use of video as audio and variables.

At this point, Vijay is just showing off. Awesome iteration on an earlier shaders experiment by Rogie.

I missed Vijay’s Figma recreations! A great illustration of the Sony Walkman, full of little details and textures. ​“Most of the shapes are created using primitive shapes with shadows and blend modes.”
