About Us video
1. **Figma Redesigns the Design Process:** - Figma is a platform focused on improving the often messy design process. - Recognizing that design is more than appearance, Figma aims to make it a collaborative and streamlined experience. 2. **Collaborative Design in the Cloud:** - Figma enables teams to design together in real-time, providing a platform that unites everyone involved in the creative process. - The platform operates in the cloud, allowing seamless collaboration on design, wireframes, and prototypes. 3. **Integrated Workflows for Efficiency:** - Figma integrates various aspects of the design process, allowing writers to work on content within the design file and facilitating early collaboration with developers, regardless of their location. 4. **Efficient Handoff and Stakeholder Feedback:** - Figma aims to make the handoff process smoother, resembling a handshake, particularly when working with developers globally. - Stakeholders can be invited to provide feedback directly within the work, promoting efficient communication and collaboration. 5. **Real-Time Design Without Conflict:** - Figma enables teams to work together in real-time without interfering with each other's progress, allowing for a more flexible and efficient design process tailored to the team's preferences and needs.

- **Introduction to Figma Prototyping:** - The tutorial focuses on the basics of prototyping within Figma. - Interactive prototypes in Figma help demonstrate how a design will behave, useful for design critiques and visualizing the final product. - **Creating a Prototype:** - Prototypes are built in the "Prototype" tab, separate from the design tab. - To enter prototype mode, transition from the design tab to the prototype tab at the top of the properties panel. - **Building Connections:** - Prototyping starts by selecting an element and creating a connection using a blue circular node. - Connections are established by dragging from the selected node to a top-level frame; connections can be removed by dragging the arrow to an empty area. - **Presentation View:** - To preview the prototype, click the play icon in the toolbar to open the presentation view in a new browser tab. - Visual indicators (blue box) show hotspots, and clicking on them allows navigation between frames. - **Transitioning and Editing:** - The starting position of the prototype is indicated by a blue box with a white arrow on the first connected frame. - The tutorial briefly mentions prototype transitions and how to dismiss enlarged images, leaving details for a future video.
