Impressive video! In my role as a Power BI developer, I collaborated with a UI/UX Designer team using Figma’s dashboard templates. Initially, translating Figma’s sophisticated designs to Power BI was a challenge, but I found a time-saving solution by adapting Figma templates as background images as you were doing. Now, I can effortlessly design my own backgrounds. A tip: export as SVG for optimal image quality in Power BI backgrounds.
I was under the impression that SVG couldn't handle the drop shadows and more complex imagery, but I just tried it to see on one of the backgrounds and was surprised to find it actually worked! Good tip 😄
Hats off to you ma'am! Such a well explained video on Figma! Please make more videos on this. As its very important for Power BI report background design. Thank U. New subscriber!!
Loved the video! Quick question about that background picture at 1:32 - the blue and green waves one. Did you get that from FIGMA? Where do you find these cool abstract shapes? Thanks!
Figma gives you a lot more control and more options for sure. PowerPoint gets recommended only because it’s something most people already have and are familiar with, not because it’s better for this. :)
No, that's some of it but it's mostly for making things fancy. This example was intentionally simplistic because it's a "basics" tutorial video, but where Figma really shines is having more control over the drop shadows and using background blur and gradients. Power BI can't do any of those things well... there is a drop shadow on shapes but it is not a good-looking drop shadow. :)
