Figma
Have you ever wanted to design apps or websites, but felt intimidated by professional design software?
In this class, you’ll learn how to use Figma step by step while building your very first UI design from scratch. Whether you’re interested in UI/UX design, product design, web design, or simply want to learn a powerful modern creative tool, this class is designed to help you get started confidently.
We’ll begin by learning the basics of Figma - setting up your workspace, creating your first screen, and understanding how the interface works. You’ll quickly become comfortable navigating the platform and working with the essential design tools.
Next, we’ll focus on the foundations of good UI design. You’ll learn how to work with text, spacing, alignment, colors, typography, and layout to create interfaces that feel clean and professional.
As you progress, you’ll also explore important Figma features like Auto Layout and components, which help designers create more organized, scalable, and responsive designs.
Then, you’ll move into prototyping, connecting screens together and creating simple interactions so your design feels more like a real app or website experience.
Throughout the class, you’ll build an actual UI project step by step, helping you apply everything in a practical and beginner-friendly way.
By the end of this class, you’ll understand the core Figma workflow and feel confident creating your own interface designs and interactive prototypes.
