Getting Started with Figma (4h) + Course Project A beginner's to pro course in UI design with Figma NEW! Full Config 2024 Update Featuring the New Figma UI Design! This course is a comprehensive introduction to Figma from absolute beginner to advanced features. Short and focused, providing you with all you need to know to tackle any design. We'll start from scratch by setting up your Figma account and familiarising ourselves with its file structure. Then, we'll dive into the fundamentals of Figma, such as setting up frames and nesting them, adding shapes, text, colours, and grids creating solid UI designs. Once you're comfortable with the basics, we dive into more advanced subjects like creating solid UI designs and working with components for reusable elements. You'll learn how to establish styles and variables for consistency, create responsive designs with auto layout, and add basic prototyping to bring your designs to life—always keeping collaboration with development in mind.
