The Beginner's Guide to Figma

via egghead.io

Overview

Figma is a collaborative prototyping tool that allows you to responsively design your applications, with resolution presets for all of the most popular devices. In this course, we will explore the fundamentals of Figma’s toolset that you can use for various design functions.
We will start from scratch, then walk through scenarios you may encounter when designing a website or application. We will cover building reusable designs — known as “components” in Figma — all the way up to prototyping your designs to show screen transitions and animations between state.
By the end of the course, you will understand the basics of Figma so you can use it to your advantage when building your next app or website.
