About This Course
In modern product development, flat, static images are no longer enough. Stakeholders need to experience how an application feels, and developers need to understand exactly how elements behave before writing a single line of code.
This course dives deep into Figma, the industry-standard collaborative design tool. You will move beyond basic shapes and text to master complex systems: Auto Layout, interactive components, Smart Animate, and advanced Design Systems. Finally, you'll learn how to perfectly package your designs for engineering handoff.
Skills You Will Gain
Course Syllabus
Module 1: Figma Fundamentals & Auto Layout
Master the Figma canvas. Learn the deep mechanics of Auto Layout to create incredibly responsive, fluid designs that automatically adapt to different screen sizes and content lengths.
Module 2: Components & Variants
Stop designing the same button ten times. Understand atomic design principles and learn how to build robust, reusable master components with customizable properties and states (Variants).
Module 3: Building Design Systems
Scale your designs for enterprise. Create and manage comprehensive team libraries consisting of typography scales, local color variables, spacing tokens, and grid systems.
Module 4: Advanced Prototyping & Micro-Interactions
Bring your designs to life. Connect frames with triggers and actions, utilize Smart Animate for seamless transitions, and build complex interactive components like functional drop-downs, carousels, and toggles.
Module 5: Collaboration & Developer Handoff
Bridge the gap between design and code. Learn how to document your designs effectively, utilize Figma's Dev Mode, export assets, and communicate constraints to software engineers.
