Course Description
Figma is a cloud-based design tool that facilitates collaboration among teams, making it a good choice for creating design systems. Using a design system provides consistency and scalability, improves efficiency, and enhances collaboration and accessibility across your designs. It’s important to use features such as responsive design, which enables your website to adjust to various screen sizes. This way, your website can be accessible to anyone, regardless of how they’re viewing it. Features like components can help you create and manage consistent designs across projects and across teams.
In this course, you will learn how to use Figma. We will cover using responsive layouts, including constraints, auto layouts, and grids. You will learn about components, including features like buttons, icons, layouts, input fields, and navigational elements. You will also learn about plug-ins for text, imagery, and accessibility. By the end of this course, you will know the best practices for effectively using Figma.
