Why did the remove it tho? I was so stunned when I saw that glow effect.

That's so cool ! Thank you so much

I'm really impressed with LottieFiles! But is there any way to include drop shadows in my animations? For me they always break when I animate shapes with drop shadows on them in Figma

Is there a way to write to a database using this?

*Be careful with this wrapper.* This works just fine for simple components, but these kinds of containers are very buggy in terms of component overrides. Whenever you nest IconWrapper inside another component and you override the color of the icon, component override would stop working as soon as you change the multiple nested components variants of the button. That's the reason i stopped using them and instead embed the icon sizes directly into bigger components. *Note:* Naming it consistently works, but only for components which embed the IconWrapper 1 layer deep. As soon as you nest the IconWrapper component within other component variants (Button Frame -> Button Label -> [Text, IconWrapper]), then it breaks when you change variants of the inner components (for example Button Label component variant)

great video, it needs more likes

Years of experience makes a HUGEEEEEE impact! DO NOT EXCLUDE THAT EVER!!! The only caveat is that it must be over 3+ yrs to hold scoring weight. Anything below that will crush you and cause the opposite. I’m saying this because I build the worlds most accurate & effective resume prediction model on earth :). And this is something I did not expect to find. Anyway hope that helps. Also make a very small list of skills that seem obvious but are always looked for

I am always so impressed with these videos. They are super helpful and he is such a brilliant designer.

Awesome content Ridd!!! Top quality

Really helpful, I was missing this approach in my one variant which include 5 types of button with five states of each and 3 sizes of each button , in total 384 buttons in one variant 😭

Is there a way to turn the size variant off when this component is nested in another component? I’d like for other designers to be able to change the icon, but not the size for instance.

Love this, I've been animating for a bit now and agree about AE, it can be very scary when you first open it. The airplane was my fav but understand your sentiment ;)

Can't figure out how to get an animation to end as the final frame. It always loops... even when I turn loop off it will go to the first frame at the end

🤯

This was a great lesson!

I love the reveal! 😍

Great video. Super helpful. Thanks

Really great Video Ridd!! And excellent material to work with. When will you be having your next Advanced Figma class? I want in!

Ridd, you're a lifesaver! I have watched so many videos on prototyping with variables and this video is by far the best. I love how you take time to explain the concepts, details and steps! A lot of other videos about this skip over this stuff making them hard to follow and understand.

Life-saver content! OMG, you are incredible dude!

I know Matt, he is awesome to work with. He genuinely has the level of intentionality you mentioned.

Amazingg❤

Thank you!

Awesome thank you!

Hello, is the Figma Academy 2.0 (Self-serve video lessons) also on youtube video lessons so I can create an automatic translation?

The best video I've watched so far on variables. I never understood how it works untill now. Thanks 👍🏽

2:40 such a good tip and I do this too, especially with iconography design. Now with Figma's built-in "Split view" it makes it really easy. Otherwise, the classic way is File -> New Window. 3:56 💯 agree - so many designers I've worked with struggle to think/work this way though.

There needs to be a part 2 of this now @ridd

thanks for the video, very informative

Good stuff! Just what I needed to help be build a progress bar of my own. Thanks!

Love it! This approach certainly avoids bias during feedbacks session. Thanks for sharing & cheers!

Is the course updated to UI3? What if I purchase the self paced video course - can I pay more to join the cohort?

That cover idea is just so good, Years of Figma and this has never crossed my mind but after seeing this it feels like the best solution tbh ❤

Great video excep the statement "we cannot do "literally" anything..."

Would you like to share that file?

As a Junior Designer I wanna ask you a question about the graphics in the Website design . I struggle alot with the Graphic design .How you design the graphic in the design which is related to the website copy? Pleasedo answer me

This works only for outline icons but doesn't work for stroke icons!

Very interesting to see another person’s process in Figma! Great idea for presenting your work! You can even see your “speaker notes” on the cover. I’ll be trying this

One of the coolest mini project I made using Variables. Amazing, thanks Ridd

That's fantastic! I was truly impressed by the way you delved into the intricacies of designing a top-notch UI.

Loved the walkthrough! Totally borrowing that. Appreciate you sharing it!

Those text blocks/sections are great ways to explain choices.. Great way to tell Stories. Love from Dakar/Senegal 🇸🇳

love the cover componet idea, very clean way to give a walkthrough without needing to make an entirely new presentation.

Hey Ridd, I like your videos. I watch almost all of your dive club podcasts and really appreciate it. I liked the process too. Keep doing the good work.

So good! I love seeing the thinking behind the thinking! Would you be able to share your nation database link? I love how you have that set up.
