Designing in Figma Information

Designing in Figma is designed to empower designers of all levels to master the Figma toolset effectively.

Get the most out of Figma. Create future-proof layouts and design systems at scale.

This book is a practical guide to Figma, demonstrating how to create layouts that will evolve over time, build design systems at scale, and stay organized and efficient in the process. The author spent a year collecting tips and recommendations for the book, while writing a regular newsletter about Figma.

Every topic is thoroughly researched and explained in-depth, so even experienced designers can learn a few things and save time:

• Learn the power of shapes and Vector Networks.
• Create resizable layouts that adapt to changes.
• Construct Components and Variants based on a few core principles.
• Keep design elements consistent with reusable Styles.
• Use real data in design mockups.
• Export assets and avoid surprises with SVG.
