Figma is a design tool that allows you to create websites, applications, logos, images, PPTs, and more with just a computer connected to the Internet. It is also the best tool for team-based collaboration.
Sketch popped up because Photoshop was too slow, and Figma popped up because Sketch was too slow. It is the tool of choice for most designers contributing to the creation of IT-based digital products around the world.
(Reference https://uxtools.co/survey-2020) You can use it on both Mac and Windows as long as you can use the Internet.
Getting started with Figma
Write on the web or install and write
Figma can be used right from the web or you can install a dedicated app on your computer. You can access it anytime, anywhere through a browser, and you can also install apps for more reliable use. Access the Figma website.
Sign up by clicking the Sign up button. You can sign up with your email or Google ID.
When you create an ID and log in for the first time, you must create a team. Even if you work alone, you need to divide and save the project, so write an appropriate team name.
Invite people to work with you. If you don't want to invite anyone, just click Skip this step.
Decide on a plan. First start is free. Figma has a team > project > file structure. Files that do not fit into the project are stored in Draft. On the free plan, you can use unlimited draft files, but you are limited to 3 files that can be organized in any hierarchical structure.
Decide which file to create first. Since we will be mainly designing in figma, we choose the left one.
Choose a preset and template. It's great to see what's out there.
Write fonts stored on my computer
If you want to use local fonts easily and reliably, we recommend installing the desktop app. If you use it only for the web, install a separate program to load local fonts. You can check the content of Figma with the Figma mobile app. It is mainly used to check mobile UI design. If it is simply for checking Figma, you can also access it through the web.
