Hi Tim, thank you for making this creative video of a carouse in Figma, it seems I was able to follow your instructions and made the design to work but how can I add it into my design? I would appreciate it, I just started using Figma. Thanks!
There is a very nice add-on (I use on firefox but I believe they also have it In Chrome) is called " Font Ninja" you hoover over the website and tells you the font with all the info.
Really helpful!! Before I was putting the actual grid setting on which always bothered me because the grid doesn't match the stretch 12 columns. the 12 columns in an 1140 frame makes sense and the style has the 8 rows, but do you do them separately when you're using a larger screen, like a 1440?
Framer is not sufficient enough for me as a designer. It lacks a lot of basic features and functionality and other things are straight forward overcomplicated.
Hi, I was thinking while watching your RU-vid videos, I can make the components, but it's so hard to prototype them. Do you have any videos on this? Or can you take a video of variations prototyping? I'm not sure if it's better to just study framer or write a program like jitter or learn pygma prototyping. Is there a lecture or course that combines components and prototyping? I'm not very good at English, so I used a translator a bit, please understand. I want you to comment. Thanks for the nice videos. I hope you're always happy.
This video is such a mixed bag The AI-generated images are only "nice" until you look closer at them, using images like that makes the website feel less trustworthy. Especially when the "bird/cloud" is melting, What if you were given a styleguide and hade to make the design that's allready set in stone work, what if you had to use images from the customer? Creating dark color-themed webpages will quickly look samey, which is really bad if you're trying to make portfolio pieces. I think that focusing on making styles that you get from an employeer to work is a lot more valueable than changing up the design completely especially when the tip for the new fonts were "grab the css from a site you like". If people were to really get better as designers they should know "why" not just "how". A bit of a mixed opportunity to mention why the values of 24 and 16 were chosen and why you chose "between 80 and 96" (8 pt grid-system). Also headings are important for wcag so using them like is not great at all and would be a problem for SEO, which is something a UI-designer has to be aware of. I think this website is "nice" because you had no restrictions and you created a tech website where darker colors and glow are fine to use, but the "1% of ui designer" that are really good would be able to make a light color-scheme work. I think that the small tips that you gave about low-oppacity secondary buttons was a good tip and that the importance of spacing was conveyed well. The videos you make are really well put together, and I think that showing the step by step procession was a really smart idea, it made it a lot easier to understand how small changes can make a big impact.
Hi, I have a problem with the responsiveness of these elements. I want the image to scale up or down as the resolution changes. I have tried various settings, but something always goes wrong. Do you have a solution for this?
I love this!!! Thank you for this insight! Very helpful. In the back of my head I gathered ideas but when I left my project for a couple of days and came back I almost always forgot ideas I created from those inspirations. This however is organized and a great layout I can come back to and actually be able to use in the future by making adjustments and creating it my own way. :))) THANK YOUUU!
I don't get the bit about the column margins being specific to the frame with if the cols are set to stretch.. Could someone explain that to me like I'm 5?
alright, so although this is a good video to describe the process... the process sucks. I'm not sure if figma has updated since you made this video as i only started using it, but they need to make this process simpler. IE make tabs act like radio buttons. Put tabs within a parent group and if one is selected, all others are deselected. If you need a new tab, people shouldnt have to make a ton of other variations, and connect the dots, They should just place another tab in the parent group.
If I make a component and then add variant and make an interaction, is the same as doing a component set and adding a interation? which way is better? Thanks a bunch for the lesson :)
