Note: This course unlocks Intro to Web Design and the Figma Friends Design Club

What is Figma:

Figma is a cloud-based design tool used by software teams worldwide. It allows designers to create, collaborate on, and prototype user interfaces for websites, mobile apps, and other digital products. Figma is extremely versatile, and can be used for all sorts of projects, from card game design to storyboarding. My goal is to teach you Figma as quickly as possible.

What we’ll do:

We’ll start with the basics, and then each class will take you deeper into the Figma Editor.

1. The Canvas: Text, rectangles & images
2. Layers: Frames & hierarchy
3. Auto Layout: Designing a text block and a navigation bar
4. Layout: Anatomy of a webpage & article design At the end of four classes, you will be ready to start your own project.

What you’ll need:

Download Figma. That’s it. Oh, and if you work in Figma outside of class you’ll improve way faster. Try playing around and see what you can create.

Caveat: If you are already super familiar with creative software products (Adobe Photoshop, Blender, Unity, etc.) you may not need this course. Feel free to message me about it.
