Watch the new 2022 updated version here https://youtu.be/II-6dDzc-80 LIKE FREE STUFF? //////////// If you're interested in my thoughts and experience on the topic download my free ebook called "Make Your Portfolio Count" http://eepurl.com/djC53b Remember to Subscribe https://goo.gl/6vCw64 I have been using Figma for over a year in my design work and I realized I have never done a basic intro to Figma that covers all the topics a beginner would need to understand the Figma basics. So here it is Figma for Beginners... a sort of 101 class so to speak. In this video, I cover all the basics you would need to know you start using Figma today in your professional design work. By the time you're done watching the video, you should be able to download the program, install, start making amazing things, and wonder why you ever waited to make the switch. If you are still using something like Adobe Photoshop for digital design it's time for you to experience something better. In this video I cover: - Benefits to using Figma - all operating systems and browser - collaborative real time - commenting - prototyping - Brief tour of the UI - Pages vs Artboards - Working responsive - Adding Shapes - Details panel - Pen Tool - Boolean Operations and Masks - Commenting - Using symbols - Sharing - Prototyping - Exporting - physical - Code I know it sounds like a lot but stick with me and hopefully, you'll learn everything you need to know to starting making amazing designs in Figma. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ////////// Want to support my content and get extra goodies?
