Figma in 5: Vectors I

[@CuttingEdgeSchool]

I genuinely cannot overestimate the level of value these videos bring. I am a self taught designer and these videos have genuinely contributed so much for my career. Like, I am actually in a great job, having fun, saving time and getting so much value for free from this one channel which is pretty mindblowing if you think about it

[@batman3490]

chewtiya kutlaka... self taught... try to mention pirated courses you took ... don't forget to pay them back.

[@_masssk_]

I've been using Figma for 3 years and didn't know about several features from the video. Thanks!

[@rogieking8773]

That's my hope, Max! Glad you learned a few things. Let's keep the knowledge flowing...

[@NIkkitonIV]

Say have you been working in figma for three years and have learned new things? give at least two examples please

[@_masssk_]

@@NIkkitonIV 1) quick switch between stroke and fill 2) shift up/down to lighter/darker 3) русскоязычное комьюнити подтверждает свою токсичность... :D

Finally shapes are super easy to edit like they should have been for the last decade -- > looking at you adobe

[@rogieking8773]

🙌

[@erikbriones]

OMG I was looking for these shortcuts for a long time! :D :D Thank you so much, Rogie!

[@Daniella-n1x]

OMGOSH that was literally such an amazing video. Felt like shouting THANK YOU at least 3 different times.

[@megaroeny]

So happy you're taking the tweets and doing this instead!

[@rogieking8773]

Thanks for the great feedback, Reony! The designer advocacy team at Figma is looking into better ways of dropping tips for ya.

[@titilayoorhiunu1849]

This is really great! Thanks for this Raji! It will definitely save me a lot of time!

[@imagetextimage]

This was excellent. Definitely achieve what you aimed in this series. Can't wait to learn more with the upcoming lessons. Thank you.

[@JessUIdesign]

Woww so cool !!! I didn’t Known about some feature in this video !!

[@rogieking8773]

That's the hope Jessica...just throw as many rad tips at you and let you get back to your job. Glad you learned some stuff!

[@francois6626]

You rock Rogie 🤘

[@thewelshlink]

Mate this is brilliant. It's obvious that you put a lot of prep into this to condense it all into 5 minutes and keep clarity at the same time.

[@akshayagrawal484]

That's like 50 hrs of work saved, keep making more such videos

[@rogietheking]

Yes!

[@quatrical]

That copy svg and paste to figma is so handy. Been to sketch, affinity designer and xd and I never looked back lol

[@davidpetkus9055]

Nice One

[@andriansyahroni]

Superb

[@suelahaxhi3211]

Thanks so much for the tutorials. For me, everything you are teaching, is a treasure. I spent a lot of time surfing youtube for lessons because no one explained the commands you have to use when drawing with the pen. It was a continuous loop. ..I didn't understand, until now, how to combine the keyboard with the pen functionality.

[@fonncatalina6464]

I thought I had enough internet for today until I found these mind blowing tips!

[@anna_anna496]

A fantastic idea of the videos, I’m waiting for the whole series 😌🤩

[@rogieking8773]

Love it! I'll keep posting

[@林淑媛-v4v]

Omg I've been using figma for like 3 months and I didn't know how easy to change the light of color in figma.

[@leinie2317]

please please please do more of this!!! thank you!

[@perrychouteau3561]

I can't remember all of this.. but for a dev (student) that want to learn this job too, there is no video better than this one.

[@billaddison82]

So so so so so soooooooo much better than Adobe Illustrator's vector drawing tool!!!

[@NIkkitonIV]

Still there is not 'free transform tool' in figma, and you name it 'better than AI drawing tool'? R U BOTS ALL OF YOU?!

[@putzfetzenORG]

5:35 as of Figma 114.6.1 (June 2022) the modifier keys to resize from the center are even simpler: While dragging hold: ⌥ to resize from the center. ⇧ ⌥ to resize from the center proportionally.

[@jswanson859]

I love this series! So helpful for someone who is new to Figma. Keep on sharing all these great tips and tricks.

[@MeAdhir]

Awesome content! Waiting for more videos, when next video will be out?

[@rogieking8773]

Adhir, I'm planning on dropping them weekly. If folks are loving them, then I'll keep making them.

[@MeAdhir]

@@rogieking8773 Cool, thanks! Can't wait to see more.

[@aydemironur35]

When you think you know everything about a section in Figma, they just uploading a "Figma in Five" video and blowing your mind :)

[@carolinahurtado6439]

🙌 thank you! You are solutions savvy. Helps to save so much time. Gracias!

[@Kumarms96]

i loved his presentation so much that i not wanted it to end so soon...

[@putzfetzenORG]

5:48 change the saturation and/or brightness (what is it exactly?) of a color by clicking into its hex code and then using shift-up-arrow (⇧-↑) or shift-down-arrow (⇧-↓). 1) What exactly is changed? To me it seems: The hue remains as is. Saturation and brightness both change. By what rules I cannot tell. 2) Beware: This is a destructive function. Once you reach a total white or a total black, you cannot get back along your color path to your original hue. Instead you are from then on "locked in" on the gray scale. Is this a bug or a feature? To me it is a bug. In this color transformation function the hue should always be preserved, and you should be able to bounce back and forth between your min and max value forever and always get the same reproduce-able results along the way.

[@AdityaSingh-nk7ll]

Please make a video on vector art please please please please ❤️

[@rogieking8773]

Noted! I was thinking about doing one!

[@tomikk]

This is so great! Thanks!

[@peterbotond7759]

How you delete a point in the vector shape so it doesn't brake the shape?

[@rogieking8773]

You'll find out this and a bunch of other node editing tips in the video coming out soon, but just press Shift + Delete on a node to delete and heal (so it doesn't break the shape!).

[@peterbotond7759]

[@deltasecho12]

Is it possible to make fonts in Figma? That would be amazing.

How did you open a bottom panel with code and stuff on 6:51?

[@Figma]

Hey Ruslan, that is just the developer tools of the browser. You can typically access developer tools from your browser's menu or a keyboard shortcut, but the methods often vary between browsers.

[@tylerhilker]

Does anyone know why when I get into the vector edit mode, there are so many points that pop up? It's almost terrifying because there are so many dots >< can I change that somewhere??
