Cool open-source proof-of-concept, related to the above post by Edward. For now, I’m skeptical of AI-generated components (explaining ideas and details may take longer than building from scratch), but bullish on offloading mundane tasks, error detection, and quality checks to the AI.

If you missed the livestream (or had trouble joining the Zoom webinar), check out this recording of the event. Lively and exciting presentation by the Designer Advocates team!

Danny Sapio shares some great Auto Layout tips and shortcuts that can speed up your work.

David Hill shows how to make a nice 3D button with an active ring effect, applied in a way that grows with the button without changing the dimensions of the button.

A new free course with a comprehensive curriculum on how to use Figma. 

David Hill shows how to achieve a very cool curved mesh effect in Figma.

Yuhki Yamashita’s talk from WebSummit 2022. I shared slides and an article based on this talk last November. In it, Yuhki explores how design is changing and how we need to change with it. He also offers practical advice on navigating our new always-in-progress world and Figma’s approach to developing collaboration features designed with that in mind.

Molly Hellmuth shared a few tips from her recent event with Smashing Magazine.

“Having scaled the APAC region for 3 US companies, with a big emphasis on building culture as a foundation for success, Scott will speak of his learnings and lead a discussion for: Recruiting, Enabling, and Creating Culture.”

“Hear from Sprig’s Product & Designs teams to learn actionable steps to incorporate user feedback as a core part of your design process in Figma.”

“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 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.”

“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.”

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.

Video and transcript of a fireside chat with Dylan Field on Figma’s origins, AI, and education.

“You’ve been invited to collaborate in FigJam! Watch this video to learn the basics so you’re ready to jam with your team on project plans, flow charts, and more.”

“In this livestream, Aashrey Sharma, UX Designer at Epic Games, shares how he prototypes for game design and some principles to consider when creating a game, or more broadly, focus-based navigation prototypes.”

“We’re ringing in 2023 by bringing ten Figmates to showcase their favorite features and share their tips and tricks. Whether you’re new to Figma or a pro yourself, tune in to get an inside look on how the teams who build Figma and FigJam use the tools.”

“Annual planning — it’s one of the most cross-functional, critical, and downright messy endeavors that teams take on each year. For Amplitude, building great products and establishing an operating plan for success start with aligning on a north star metric and deconstructing user journeys.” Comes with workshop templates to make planning fun as well.

Sara Brunettini shows how AI-powered Figma plugins can be used to streamline your workflow and make the design process a breeze. ​“Imagine AI assisting with repetitive tasks like naming layers, designing light/​dark modes or even generating micro-copy for you. And the best part is these plugins integrate seamlessly with Figma.”
