About this course
This course introduces developers to Figma, a powerful design and collaboration tool. Participants will learn the Figma interface, account setup, and navigation of its design and collaboration tools. The course emphasizes the importance of design in development and teaches how to effectively work with Figma files, including organizing frames, pages, and layers, collaborating with team members, and using version control and commenting features.
Developers will gain a strong foundation in design principles such as layout, typography, and color, while learning to analyze and interpret design files. They will practice creating and editing designs by adding text, importing graphics, building vector shapes and icons, and utilizing components and libraries. The course also covers prototyping, enabling participants to create interactive links, hotspots, transitions, and collect user feedback to enhance designs collaboratively.
The curriculum includes collaboration and handoff techniques, teaching developers how to export design assets (SVG, PNG, CSS), integrate Figma with development tools like Zeplin or Framer, and implement design feedback efficiently. The course concludes with a final project, where participants collaborate with a designer to create and implement design assets in a development project, demonstrating practical Figma skills in a real-world scenario.
