Here's a #figmatutorial that explains components and auto layout in 10 mins. As a UIUX designer, these two #figma functions often cause me headache. This 10-min videos pretty much summarized the headache I went through in years and how to fix them. There are more to cover when it comes to components, such as creating variants for a component, please comment a "✌️" if you want to lean more.
Components and auto layout comes in handy when you are creating hi-fi prototypes, but I don't suggest using it for wireframes. To learn more about wireframes, check out this video: • Figma UX tutorial for ...

@PP-po3ri Год назад

Please, do more videos! You are an amazing teacher

@AlienaCai Год назад

Thank you so so much for your support!

@rubiepatrick973 Год назад

Even better than the videos on Figma's channel!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@axl2531 Год назад

This is amazing video! One of the most high-quality and detail-oriented ones I've watch. I especially like how you discussed all the exceptions and showed examples. Those could be so frustrated at times.

@rishabhparochi Год назад

Excellent!, I don't think anyone can explain better than this. 👍🏻

@depechetoi Год назад

I'm not even learning UI/UX but you got me interested with the way you tell it. Hope the lessons will keep coming :) All the best!

Great video, you basically answered all of my questions about the auto layout section, thank you!!!

@angelacalvin5790 Год назад

This was SOOOO helpful and easy to follow. I appreciate how you broke everything down in really clear manageable ways and it visually easy to follow as well. I did it along with you. I have to be hand on! I am really tryna master this in order to apply to a whole layout design AND make it responsive which is a WHOLE other beast :) I haven't looked at your other vids yet, but I would love to see you cover responsive layout :)

@AlienaCai Год назад

You're so welcome! Your request is noted ~

@gandalfonmeth Год назад

thanks a lot, I watched so many autolayout vids and most were rushed, this one made me get everything right away THANKS

I’m so glad to hear this 🙏

@vtreanor Год назад

Loved it. No idiotic intros, silly music or endless distractions. Nicely done Aliena, pretty too.

@underdilfwood2392 Год назад

This is the best explanation of auto layout I have seen (and I'm pretty sure I've nearly watched all of them at this point 😵‍💫). Thank you!

@brunovincent1969 Год назад

Absolutely brilliant, I need to setup an hour just to do this, I will follow your tutorial to the letter. I appreciate the fact that you didn't get into any fonts or colors. You keep it very simple in black and white, others pollute the tutorials with styling and extras, you don't. Thanks!

@vtreanor Год назад

I like your comment about pollution and extras. I just want the core topic also. Aliena has got the talents of a great communicator.

@masonguillory3790 Год назад

Best explanation on RU-vid by far. The fact that you've made the tutorial in the form of a use case is super helpful and keeps my brain interested. Many tutorials are just an explanation of tools that may or may not be related to one another without any specific reason you might use them. It's like taking that math class that you know you'll never use in daily life. Scenario learning/teaching and the flow of this tutorial was second-to-none. If you ever get tired of practicing UX/UI, consider becoming an exclusive educator or paid mentor. You're already great at it. 👍

@AlienaCai Год назад

Wow, your comment is so so inspiring. Thank you so much for this ❤️❤️❤️ I will defiantly consider.

Awesome Figma tutorial as always! I really appreciate the great work you put into these. Though I did run into a little hiccup with the caption auto-layout (3:36) - the size wasn't adjusting automatically like I thought it would. But no worries, I figured out a fix! I just made the caption use auto-layout first, and then applied the auto-layout to the whole group with the icon and username. Problem solved! Thanks again for the super helpful tutorial.

Aliena, this is simply amazing! I wanted to tackle auto layout, and the videos I saw before were not very viewer friendly. But yours is just simple and straightforward. Will you be willing to share more Figma - tutorial/videos in the near future, even specifically tackle some edge cases? How do you keep up with the latest trends/industry standards in these tools? My greatest thanks to what I've learned from this video!

@iSwiftectioner Год назад

Love this video, thank you! I feel like not getting a formal education in UX has really affected my set up and other minute things. However, your videos always fill that gap for me ❤ I have a question off topic that I've been meaning to ask - where did you search for your contract roles? Was it job boards like LinkedIn, Indeed, or something else?

@AlienaCai Год назад

Thank you! Regarding your question, I actually leverage my network for those roles. I suggest you to read the book “never eat alone”, this book forever changed my view on networking and have influenced me since then on getting opportunities through just - making friends.

It would be great if you could show us a couple different ways to record videos on figma when showing a prototype in use, sometimes I still use XD because it is built right into their app natively

Hi that's a nice tutorial, what you mean about the "old components", please?

@partypao Год назад

@5:40 I tried to delete the amount of text in the paragraph while following your tutorial, but the layout did not adjust automatically. I fiddled with the settings and it turned out that text settings must be set to 'Auto Height' (not 'Fixed', which is the default), in order for this to work.
