Figma Essential Training: The Basics
- On 10/23/2023, I took “Figma Essential Training: The Basics” course on LinkedIn Learning. By listening to Brian Wood explain how to use Figma, which is a collaborative interface design tool. This course introduces the features and concepts I needed to know to start my first user experience (UX) design project in Figma. It greatly assisted the creation of my UX General Nonprofit Site Design Template Class Project. From finding out how to create new files, segmenting my project for multiple screens and devices, and starting to add content, including shapes, images, drawing, effects, and text. I learned ways of working smarter—not harder—using Figma features like layers, reusable formatting, and components. Moreover, we can even add interactions to the mix to build functional prototypes to really tell the whole story of our design to collaborators and clients.
