A deep dive into Figma’s various license tiers and the features/​capabilities available in each.

A new video in the Introduction to design systems course by Figma explains design tokens.

Christine shows how to use a Scroll To action to seamlessly connect navigation on a single-page website, create horizontal scroll effects, and scroll in multiple directions.

Luis shows how to descope and unpublish primitive variables from the design system.

Christine Vallaure just published a free 1‑hour course on YouTube. Topics include Figma’s file structure, creating files and frames, shapes, text, components, and general design setup. A fantastic resource for beginners, and it even comes with an exercise file.

Step 1: Learn from Miggi how to create a ghost icon just in time for Spooky Season.

What a great idea! Figma Designer Advocate Lauren will be teaching FigJam Advocate Kaitie how to use Figma one concept at a time, in less than 15 minutes a day. So far they’ve covered file management and creation, structuring your files, libraries, and components.

Have ​“ghost” variables in your file and need to get rid of them easily? Here is how to easily detach deleted variables still lurking in your file, as explained by Miggi.

“Join this learning session where we will share tips and address questions around how to onboard your engineers to Dev Mode. We’ll cover how to adjust your workflows to get the most of our new features, setting up your files and design system, and onboarding your developers.”

“In this livestream Hanju Kim and Marvin Messenzehl from RTL+ dive into the file to understand the intricacies of designing for a wide array of platforms while maintaining impeccable structure and facilitating seamless collaboration.”

Daniel Scott recorded multiple video tutorials on using Figma on his popular channel Bring Your Own Laptop for designers and creatives. 

Mini-series showing how to use variables for advanced prototyping on a few example projects by the Design Pilot YouTube channel.

In this video, Sam walks through the features in the Tokens Studio plugin for Figma that allow the creation of variables that are synced to design tokens.

A new video from Lauren with a deep dive on when to use variants vs. variables with modes.

Figma 101 before the school starts from Miggi: ​“In this workshop we will cover the basics of working with Figma for design covering topics like creating graphics, working with typography, and making reusable components. This workshop is intended to help you get more familiar and confident with Figma whether you are just beginning your design journey, or applying your existing knowledge from another tool.” See also his Homework Hotline livestream follow-up.

Miggi causes the ​“figception” by using Jambot to come up with ideas for making Figma content. Quite amazing to see how it can be used as a tool for thought (or even programming, FWIW).

Miggi shows how to make a notification badge that expands to fill its contents with Auto Layout.

“In this Study Hall, learn how to apply the use of variables in your prototypes with the assistance of variable modes and conditional logic to create a more realistic shopping cart prototype that uses real math.”
