Introducing Figma
Figma is a web-based design tool that aids in UX Research and Design. It is user-friendly and offers a comprehensive suite of features that help streamline the design process. This tool stands out for enabling collaboration, prototyping, and the creation of design systems without requiring users to pay for multiple subscriptions.
Benefits of using Figma
- Collaboration: Multiple users can work on the same design in real time, enabling instant feedback and discussion.
- Prototyping: Users can create interactive designs that replicate user journeys effectively.
- Web-based Access: Figma can be accessed from any device with a web browser, making it versatile and easy to use.
- Developer Handoff: Figma provides CSS code snippets, easing collaboration between designers and developers.
In this session, we will also hear from Mr. Kamaludin Abdul Basit, a Product Designer from Lion Parcel, who will share insights on practical application and best practices using Figma.
Mini-Test and Certification
All attendees are encouraged to participate in a mini-test post-class. This test involves creating and uploading a design to social media and submitting a link to claim your certificate. The recording of the session will be available, and the certificate will be distributed through a Telegram group within a designated timeframe.
Q&A Session
Later in the session, we will have a Q&A segment where participants can raise questions regarding UX design and Figma. We hope this interactive aspect will reinforce the material covered.
Let’s start our class. We hope you're not only excited but also ready to embark on your journey into the field of UX Research and Design with us!
