Figma, Adobe XD, Marvel, Sketch,...?
Figma is a powerful design tool that helps you to create
anything: websites, applications, logos, and much more.

Figma interface
Make a frame in Figma
Frame is the same as a page, and it's where our design
will live.
Frame
Press + or - to zoom out or zoom in
● Select the Frame tool
from the top menu
● Select the Frame size
on the right panel
How can I align contents?
You will want to add grids that help you keep the
alignment of content for your page consistent.
Grids and Columns in Figma
● Select the frame you wish
to grid
● Select Layout Grid on the
right panel
● Select Columns and 12 units
⨀ΔϾ
Use the shapes and elements in Figma to create
squares, circles, lines, and more. These are the
fundamentals for creating a design on a page.
Shapes in Figma
● Select Square Shape tool
● Create a square
● Begin to shape and size it
We cannot design without images
Add images in Figma
You can add images from an online source or locally to
your page. Images are an important part of designing a
website, especially for the hero section.
● Drag and drop an image
from you local computer
● Import an image from the
shapes image upload option
● Resize and place the image
on the design
To add text to a design, select the text tool and place it
on the page. The font will default to Roboto, but you can
change the font family, size, and color at any stage.
abcxyz
Add Text in Figma
● Select the Text tool
● Add "About" text as the start of the
navigation
● The size and color are 24 and white
Working with lots of layers in Figma can get confusing,
so label all your elements as soon as you create them.
Even better is to group different sections and shapes
with labels such as "Hero Background" or "Navbar".
Groups help us to manage our design
Label elements, groups
● Select your element/s and right click to
group or press Ctrl + G
● Name your group
● Places groups inside groups for each
section of your page to improve
readability once your page gets large
Components are elements you can reuse across your
designs. They help to create and manage consistent
designs across projects.
How to reuse a button design
Components in Figma
Use the color picker to apply solid fills, gradients, or
images. You can also control the hue, saturation, or
opacity of a color, as well as apply blend modes.
Pick a color anywhere
Color picker
Protype replicate how users might interact with your
designs. You can make connections between frames to
create flows, or pathways, through an interactive design.
Test UI before coding
Prototype interactions
How can we share our prototypes, how can we get
feedbacks from our teammates?
Show your works
Share and preview prototype
