Jon Frok will be coming back soon.

Let's go. Great guy.

[@theisoj]

Yay! 👌

[@ariodiz]

Looking good! I think you should use autolayout frames instead of circles and rectangles as backgrounds for cards and buttons.

I just want to say your channel is really amazing. I have been a product designer for over 10 years at some of the biggest companies and I haven't found a channel that gives such great advice. Working with a design system is great, but when I wanna take on a freelance project or even something for a friend. I find it so hard to get back into creative mode and make projects feel current. Your videos remind me of art school lessons I've forgotten and remind me how to think outside my day to day. THANK YOU!

[@ronnilokoro7394]

Despite being born in early 2000's, I have a fond feeling for retro tech. It makes me feel alive. I am glad you maintain a degree of that retro environment.

Two comments/suggestions: First, on your doughnut graph I would suggest duplicating your first layer ( your track layer), then use the arc tool ( the small blue dot in the middle) to create the amount (the result/ dark purple) ring layer. Second, I would suggest the result layer (the dark purple) start at zero and progress clockwise. Doing this not only gives you an easier control for your design, it also gives you the ability to adjust your value with better accuracy. For example, you can set the arc to be 62%. One last thing, your example has your results on the wrong side. Keep producing!

[@trioxdesigns]

learned tons of small elements from a single video thanks

[@iiigor90]

Why using so small working area comparing to the screen size? Is there any practical reasons for this approach?

[@wesleyfletcher7654]

Love the kemper in the background

[@creative_yudai]

Awesome video man, need it this so bad, I’m doing my first dashboard ever, this video helped me a lot 💯

Me too bro

[@weforcedigital]

Wow... I love the design, please can you let us know the mic you use

I wonder why don't you use any grid system for precise alignment? The design would look consistent and accurate if you followed grid and maintained some rhythm in spacing, rather than aligning the layers by eye.

[@hasaniqbal233]

idk if it's just this video but these designs always seem so rushed like he's just trying to get the video out asap

[@rjsmith2007]

🔥A tip on the radial progress bars. The circle tool actually doubles as an arc tool - so no need to mask anymore! That little dot on your circle shapes can be dragged to activate the arc tool. Also another tip about spacing accuracy! While you have an object selected, hold alt and hover over near by objects to get the distance between things and your selection.

[@dee6176]

wow this was exactly what i thought of when he did that...glad to know that someone else thought of this too

[@dheepshemare5833]

Dude that tip for the spacing has changed my life for the better!

Your channel and presentation style are excellent resources. As you know I'm a new follower and want to learn from you. Thank you.

[@waifufx]

Thank you Sir I have always wanted to know how it is done especially anytime I see inspiration online

[@Rikimkigsck]

The thing you didn't explain is why did you leave so much space?

[@kasforai]

but then how will the graph changes when in Bubble?

[@limecraftsproductions9442]

hi Simon this is amazing learn a lot the designs through out the video. love it

[@jessicalopez2162]

Loved it, super enjoyed it! And I did not know anything about designing with Figma. I will let you know how it goes :)

[@copypaste1577]

Very clean & tidy. Well done

@DesignCourse you said you were gonna add this tutorial to your course right with little touches hope you’re gonna do that or not??

[@cesarjuliancortesvelasquez4435]

Interesting, please, can you tell me about preview (play) option, specifically scroll vertical options, max height, fix position sidebar, thanks

[@techtipsuk]

I'd love to know how you got into this Gary. Are you self taught? I'd love to see some of your earlier work etc. Would be really good to know more about how you became the designer you are today.

[@DesignCourse]

Search my channel for 1999 ;)

[@ridwano.mudathir7997]

Thank you this was absolutely what I was looking for. Every minute was worth it.

[@flammea_]

I'm intrigued to know how the purple floating menu is supposed to translate to code. It's offset to the left of the container and I assume the inner white container where you built the UI is supposed to be the dimensions of the window. You don't expect the navigation to be cut off by the window right?

[@ninecrowns7092]

It honestly makes no sense. This is just your typical Dribbble design porn with poor UX.

[@flammea_]

@@ninecrowns7092 To be fair this is obviously made for beginners so I would not criticize him much. He just mentioned he had a live version of the design so I was just curious how's it adopted in real-life code

[@xxMortanisxx]

No, the outer blue container is the dimensions of the window. The floating menu would be achievable with a little absolute positioning.

[@ninecrowns7092]

@@xxMortanisxx So you would add a bunch of dead space (the blue container) around your actual app (the white area) only to make room for a floating menu?

[@flammea_]

@@xxMortanisxx I was fearing that would be the case lol

love all your content. Recommend to everyone who wants to do design better.

[@인타우트]

Thank you for your class. I'm very happy to learn some good skills from your lessons. On KZbin, I am taking classes with English translation subtitles. I can't translate English well. . I would like to know if the classes on your [design-course] site have translated subtitles.

New to Figma this side. I downloaded the Project file and opened it in Figma. When I tried to access Assets I don't see any of them. Any idea why?

[@spotnuru83]

Really simple and good content

[@paulsanti1542]

Is there a video if someone coding this dashboard? I would love to see how someone would code this in visual code studio.

[@aydemironur35]

Good design but man you need to adapt to auto layout, i really worried when you desinging those cards inside of rectangles with rulers :)

[@clarktolosa]

always love the ending LOL

I can't find the assets page, help?

Anyone else have the issue where everything got deleted when you tried using the chart plugin? Control+Z isn't working, everything is gone. 😅Bummer. Oh well, it's just practice I guess.

[@tarnum13]

Sorry buddy but you are not a UX/UI designer, UX/UI designers should not design like you did… But you are a great Dribbble designer 😔

[@GLuiz1982]

Why?

[@tarnum13]

- The purple menu placement doesn’t make sense, think on a real app where will it be? The screen will cut it? - All the spaces are random, he place things just by the eye, you need to work with a system of spaces - He doesn’t use components or auto layout - He uses rectangles instead of frames - All the UI elements are random he only use them because they look nice on screen, what can you understand from the graph below? - If he would wrote “sick dashboard for Dribbble” I wouldn’t have any problems but no product company work like he does

Why don't you use components, auto layout and hotkeys? It looks pretty but it can be built much faster and more efficiently...

Yes, it’s “sick”… it will make a lot of views on dribbble. But in real life this design is complete waste of time and money.
