Vijay Verma made a new plugin for adding a color gradient map effect to your graphics. As expected, it comes with cool predefined gradients created by him to get you started.
Step 2: Learn from Vijay Verma how to create a cute animation using variables and conditions.
Create something spooky! Here's a quick tutorial to design this little guy in @figma using variables and conditions 👻. Small video shared and also get the code cheatsheet shared below. 📷✨ pic.twitter.com/K0TsE9iSiK

Vijay Verma made a photo-realistic illustration of the Nintendo Switch console with 150+ primitive shapes, inner shadows, and gradients.
Spent some time over the weekend creating one of my fav console nintendo switch in @figma 🎮. Creating these products with primitive shapes, inner shadows and gradients is a lot of fun ✨ pic.twitter.com/PyX1nynj3O

Vijay recreated a Fujifilm X100V camera using mostly primitive shapes with shadows and gradients. As a Fuji shooter since the days of X‑T1, I love seeing his attention to detail in this illustration! See this thread for his tips on creating a metal pattern and a camera texture.
A new tutorial from Vijay Verma on creating an animation for a loader indicator shaped like a glass filled with liquid. The prototype uses a few variables and conditions, and he shares them in the cheat sheet in the thread.
Another quick @figma tutorial to create this animation using variable and conditions 🥤. Small video to create this included. And get the code cheatsheet shared below. ✨ pic.twitter.com/VSiyS9jLSu

Vijay is building a game using variables with new advanced prototyping features and explains how it works along the way.
With new @figma variables. We can create any number of flow using conditions on a single frame. Testing a free flow character movement. Also tried to detect object and it worked. Small demo for something big we can create. Shared some logics below 🤩 pic.twitter.com/PpBlYzTBx2

Vijay Verma won’t miss a chance to build something fun with a new Figma feature. Here, he made a fun personalized avatars constructor using different combinations of components and variables.
Okay @figma variables are very cool. With just one frame and a few different variables with smart components, I've created this dashboard for create and customize avatar 🤩. Variable list shared below. pic.twitter.com/gJonbjiP8h

Vijay Verma is killing it with another movie-inspired artwork. Don’t miss the closeup details.
All-in-one free and open-source wireframe kit for quickly designing and prototyping ideas by Vijay Verma. The library contains more than 250+ components supporting dark mode and 150+ ready-to-use mobile screens.
Vijay Verma wraps up his Figbruary challenge with a full list of 28 experiments he made last month.
It's Figma Friday Fun 😍

From creating simple illustration to animation and faking 3D rocket in the space. Sharing all 28 @figma experiments with community file here ↓↓ pic.twitter.com/CnLUJ9JI5T
A simple temperature prototype by Vijay Verma, made as a part of Figbruary.

A new plugin by Vijay Verma: “The plugin utilizes the Metavatar algorithm to create stunning gradient backgrounds in a variety of cool colors. It also has the added feature of adding noise to make the gradients even more visually striking.”
A new project by Vijay Verma: “Figbruary is a fictional month created by combining Figma + February where you can experiment and design things daily to push the limits. For every 24 hour day within this 672 hour timespan of the month, we have prepared a prompt with instructions for you to design and create.”
See the past submissions on Twitter, like this weather icon made with only primitive shapes.
Vijay wrote a step-by-step guide on making a button with a cool multi-color glowing effect.
I always wanted to mask the gradient to create a button like this in @figma. Finally, I found a solution. Here, Sharing the behind-the-scenes and video tutorials to create this cool button.😍 pic.twitter.com/ldzOSVAodb

Vijay Verma with a smart workaround for rotating an object reflection with the key object. (And here is another one, if that wasn’t enough!)
Here's a small loading experiment I did last week in Figma. Shared behind the scene below 🙂 pic.twitter.com/Ban1wb24sC

A ready-to-use web UI kit with predefined components and a few page libraries by Vijay Verma.
Vijay challenges himself by limiting his tools only to primitives while working on this icon. It’s quite amazing what can be done by mixing imagination with 29 ellipses, 8 rectangles, and 1 frame.
Friday, Figma & Fun 🧪

Challenge: Create something cool with primitive shape only. Here is an app icon using 29 Ellipses, 8 Rectangles, and 1 Frame with added shadows and noise using the NT plugin. Shared @figma file and Behind the scene below. Enjoy 😍 pic.twitter.com/wcVeCOjGKQ
Vijay’s roundup of special effects achieved with Rogie’s new Noise & Texture plugin. Don’t miss his Twitter thread with some context and details.
After following Vijay’s work for a few years, I enjoyed reading this interview and learning about the man behind the art. He speaks about his background, using Figma for realistic illustrations, and his creative process.
