Overview

Figma Prototyping: A deep dive for UX, UI DesignerBring your design alive with Figma prototyping. In this deep dive, we will learn everything about creating basic prototypes, smart animating in Figma, re-usable interactive components, stunning interactions with variables, expressions and conditional statements and how to share and document.We'll start with the basics and learn how to connect our screens, add different scrolling behaviours, and preview our design, as well as some tips and tricks to present your prototypes.We will explore the different triggers, animation types and how to create a stateful design with the help of Figma sections.We will move on to smart animate the magic part prototyping in Figma. I'm going to show you all of smart animates superpowers and we're also going to talk about their limitations and do some troubleshooting.Then we will learn how to set up micro-interactions with interactive components in Figma. This will save you a lot of time when it comes to adding standard behaviour to instances across your design. And that's also where Figma unleashes its truly impressive potential, namely when combining auto layout, smart animate and interactive components.Finally, I'll show you tips and techniques for documenting and sharing your prototypes for handoff, and we'll take a look at interactive component documentation in Figma as well as external design systems.I will provide you with a Figma file that lets you follow alongside me during the videos or return to exercises with detailed instructions in your own time.This course is for you if you have a basic knowledge of Figma or if you are an advanced Figma user and want to improve your prototyping skills.Prototyping BasicsWhats new since Config 2023 Update *NEW*The Figma Prototype workspaceWhere should my prototype live?On-screen device previewFixed and scrollable elements (New Figma April 23 release!)Fixed headers (New Figma April 23 release!)Nesting frames for presentationsHorizontal and vertical scrollLinking screensThe back actionScroll toOverlaysLinking to external pagesAction triggersFigma animation optionsEasing and spring animationsSections and stateful designFlows in FigmaAdding videos to prototypesPreview on your mobileSmart Animate with FigmaSmart animate in FigmaSmart animate and moving animationsLimitations of smart animateLet's build a smart animated appRemember: Animate with purpose and code in mindInteractive ComponentsInteractive componentsNesting interactive componentsEasy hover and zoom animationsVideo interactionsInteractive components and auto layoutFunnel componentsPrototyping with VariablesPrototyping with variables *NEW*Variant swap with variables *NEW*Expressions *NEW*Interaction chaining *NEW*Conditional statements *NEW*Conditional statements and booleans *NEW*Documenting and Sharing Figma PrototypesDocument prototypes with flowsSharing prototype linksDocumenting interactive components for handoffEmbedding in external documentation
