Hi brother iam from india... Your work really amazing in designs... Perticularly in figma... Actually i had been using photoshop for designs but now this figma not much satisfying with limited things like clipping mask.. In photoshop clipping mask with invert option produces the design, here same thing i tried with this figma... I couldn't.. Finally i got you in youtube... Expect some solution for this.

[@rahulsbhatt]

Amazing🔥🔥 That bulk image upload is life saver!

[@Mizko]

Thanks Rahul 🔥Huge win

[@RaeZ__]

This is literally the best Figma tutorial in 18min I've ever seen, Actually... let me rephrase, this is the best "any app or software I'm trying to learn" tutorial I've ever seen. Really nice job Mizko! Forget Netflix, I will binge-watch your channel until the end!

[@Mizko]

Rodrigo! You made my day. I literally just woke up as it’s 7:16am here. Grateful to be adding so much value to your workflow.

[@NicoleBernadette]

Totally agree!! I just started freelance UI/UX design and this is so helpful

[@concannonpublishinghouse9057]

Amen to that!

[@zikokat]

Thanks! I really enjoyed the video. There is so many helpful tips and I enjoyed the way you speak which makes it funnier and more enjoyable to watch. I am new to this, which really helped me and cheered me up at work!😆

[@PUK1SVA]

I'm moving from XD to Figma and your videos are super helpful. Amazing stuff man! Thank you so much.

[@jenna___6443]

High quality, super useful tutorial as usual, I am addicted to your tutorials :D Thank you Mizko. You teach me so much

Do you provide a course on design system

Tx bro, nice video WHUA!

great advices!

How to publish the work using Figma, I don't want to use Read-only mode. In XD you can build a project and it worked like a real website. how to do that in Figma?

[@design_with_dana]

Just wondering if there is any downside to have too many Autolayouts..

[@Mizko]

Great question. No there isn't really a major downside in UI design. As everything you design 'should' be quite systematic and structured. However in prototyping, you might find it restrictive as you can't move elements freely within. That is when you might want to break apart autolayouts.

[@Belliferous]

intro set asian stereotype back by 100 years.. also great tutorial

[@njengathegeek]

nice tips

[@jaspreetmaan121]

Figma needs a grid option in auto layout

[@hikimjess]

Loving all your videos! At 12:56, you use an invisible rectangle to add space in an auto layout - is it okay to handoff the file like that to a developer?

[@Blackcat5595]

What are your thoughts on Adobe XD vs Figma? I find Figma easier to use and there’s something that’s just nice about, idk it makes more sense to me (using 2 grids is really nice). Curious to hear what you all think.

[@lazarelondaridze]

Xd doesn't allow line height, which is crucial in any design system. Something as simple as that changes everything

[@Mizko]

I’ve got a video about this too 😉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5bMk6KMmq1mjck

[@ChristianBaptiste]

12:40 into your video you mentioned a auto layout invisible rectangle hack, this hack is no longer needed by your other suggestion of turning everything into an auto layout. If you auto layout the first text block then add bottom padding you get the same result with less layer clutter.

[@jonathanpuckett4444]

Extremely helpful, I think I just found my new tax calculator! 💯😂

[@musicalcrib3469]

I tried holding the space bar and dragging my content, didn't work

[@Mizko]

Make sure you are MOVING the element first - then hold space

[@PBKB]

"Never use rectangle" -> 2 mins later, "use the rectangle tool" 😄 🤣 Jokes aside amazing video. 👏 Will for sure start using frames instead of rectangle

[@Mizko]

LOL! Did I?! Shame on me 😂

[@s_h_i_v_e]

Heyyy 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️ recently i came to know about the Adobe xd's repeat grids feature, is there any similar feature in figma?

[@Mizko]

Hey Shivani, you can replicate Adobe XD's repeat grid with Autolayout + duplicating the elements inside.

daaymm so fcking great tutorial, many THANKS bro !!!!

nice video man....could you please make a video that guides designers in selecting an appropriate typeface for their design projects?

[@Mizko]

;) Sounds goodio! Will line that up

[@2k_Kid_Sid]

Me: Seeing my father doing his tax calculations on his calculator seriously... Mizko: Doing them on Figma's Property Panel 😂

[@memoinanci5984]

MASS COLLAPSE LAYERS works differently for me than explained: On a Mac press CMD + A to select everything. Go to Layer panel and hold CMD + Click on 1 dropdown arrow and everything closes. Do exactly the same to open everything on the Layer panel. By the way Mizko your content is simple and brilliant! It helps immensely! Your accent takes me back to amazing Australia! :) So thank you very much!!

Hi what is the difference between 180 course and crash course?

[@Mizko]

The masterclass course covers in-depth and a detailed breakdown of the entire UI design process from design system to responsive designs with Autolayout and much more.

[@TamilYohan]

Client asking for sticky left side navbar and as well long footer also in the same page..while scrolling it will not look good right! Pls do suggest if any ideas

[@autistika]

Mizko or anyone an idea why the hack with the spacebar (maintain in-frame elements, Min 13:05) wouldn't work for me?

[@hoanganhthai7219]

Thanks for your tutorial, but I think you should show some keywords captions on the sreen to help your audience follow the video

[@ricardocastillosandoval9383]

If someone has to watch your videos more than one time, every repeated “joke” becomes a burden. Think about it.

[@chidorirasenganz]

There’s actually a quicker and easier way to create space. Just create another auto layout. Plus you retain better control on your spacing. Great video! I definitely picked up some tricks

[@Mizko]

🔥

[@Joshua.0829]

i think your icon in the corner of video should be smaller, because i can't see what items you are clicking on when you curser in sidebar...

[@kaushik7576]

your tutorial is about ui ux design...not kung fu karate...btw loved these advanced tricks. great thanks

[@KathBorup]

LOL love the 'add image' to component tip! I am a huge "auto-layout" fan I love using it for buttons or tooltips, when you change the text length of the button/tooltip it will naturally accommodate the new text and adjust the background accordingly. The additional spacing hack is great too! Another awesome new feature is component variants: this allows you to better manage your design system/components!

[@Mizko]

Haha! Glad you enjoyed

Hey Mizko, what is your guideline for good drop shadow?

[@kishanvagale]

#9 can be simplified by adding the 2text layers in an auto layout. The use Space Between to add extra space

[@jenna___6443]

This info may be useful but I don't understand it. Can you or somebody rephrase?

[@ytubeanon]

@@jenna___6443 Bing A.I. said: "You can streamline your design process in Figma by adding two text layers within an auto layout. Then, use the ‘Space Between’ feature to introduce additional space as needed. This will ensure a neat and organized layout for your design."

[@ganeshsonawanemail]

So I need to do my taxes in figma, understood.

[@aydemironur35]

13:30 one more little tip for fellas, it also works when you want some element placement outside of o a frame. Figma automaticly add elements inside of a frame when you drag more than %50 of that element. With holding space you can keep it outside.

[@lewis4929]

I'm interested in buying the design system. You said at the start of the video that by using it, it only took you ten minutes to put together the amazon page. Do you have a video on how/why it makes the process so much easier? Thanks!

Thanks Julie! Appreciate it. If you want to speed up your process, make sure to get a piece of it too. Oh, if you're interested in a sketching video - I'll definitely line one up. I think it's critical for designers to understand how to think on paper.

thanks Mizko. I'm getting better understanding now why should we use frame instead if group for grouping elements

When you are toggling on the side layers panel maybe slab on Magnifying effect, so we can see it better + will be easier on the eye for to watch more of your videos XD, secondly, I know it not realistic to ask you to create every single element from scratch, but perhaps you could create new/first element just once...so we can follow along better.
