[@japroz]

Hell yeah

[@fazilstudio174]

All the time

[@mohammedaabid8608]

YES 😍, As a linux user figma is more helpful for me to design.

[@klutzy_]

best thing about your tutorials is that you don't waste time on unnecessary thing and everything is fully practical and project based.

[@robertkylethomas173]

About 18 minutes in and the frame within a frame using space-between just blew my mind

[@mithunshanbhag]

Hands down, one of the best figma tutorials on youtube. This video touches on nearly every aspect of figma. Highly recommended!

[@ujjwalbansal1070]

My key learning are: > Auto layout < Prototyping > Components < Smart animation > Plugins

[@OppacaTube]

Me and my team at the company all thank you for the great effort in putting up these videos for the whole designing community 😌😌😌

[@shox28]

Hi i am looking for team to join as Web Developer and Designer

[@kleber.smartdev]

Thanks Bro, I am working as UX now and basically this video is my foundation in figma

[@tarraxart]

Yeeyy! It's my first experience on working with Figma and I managed to do everything because of your step-by-step explanation :)thank you so much!

[@anekeifeanyi5129]

I can't watch without commenting. Thanks man for this video. It's awesomw

[@alirezaaslani3047]

literally the best person to learn designing from. thanks man i dont know about others but you're really helping me

[@ernesto8273]

Gary started the year with a bang

[@yashasvisingh362]

You couldn't stop yourself from giving some UI/UX design tips here and there. Love your work!!!!

[@chyjohn6502]

This is beautiful, so so beautiful!... I don't know what else to do or say, I know comments alone aren't enough, but man, Thank you, Thanks a whole lot. we'll forever appreciate this.

[@benacker8525]

Man, This was super helpful. As a web-developer the only thing I did was save to drafts and export assets. I had no idea how to use this tool.

[@elle4768]

i followed this step by step and love it. i dabbled a little in web design when i was younger, but now im going to uni for interactive design. i havent started my major classes yet but i wanted to get ahead and your videos have been so helpful. thank you!

[@gennie01]

My introduction tutorial to Figma and I have already learned A LOT. Thanks so much!!!

[@andysachs83]

I actually think is better design from mobile first and then desktop. You have more awareness about space and what's essential with a limited area like a mobile view and progressively expand the positioning of elements to a larger space like desktop.

[@chickenpasta7359]

Awesome crash course. It took a lot of intimidation out of Figma. Finding the right plugins also helped me out a ton and taking the guess work out.

[@i5c5e5n8]

Man, this was a no-BS guide to Figma and UI design, thanks a lot, you really helped me.

[@purple88able]

Thanks so much for this course I picked up right away. Amazing instructor looking forward to learn more about the design with you. Have a blessed one.

[@mamahchinecherem6343]

Are you new in designing?? I am too Reply let's get along and help each other

[@hiteshsuthar1097]

My best designer stuff channel....

[@pyroghost11]

Ahh maaan! Thank you so much! I've been a developer for a little longer than a year now and I'm struggling to create nice looking sites and I prefer to work based on pre-created designs as much as possible. I've started making a few landing pages without a design but they got messy pretty quickly. This crash course just came out at the right time! Thank You!

[@verad5458]

You cannot imagine how this helped me today, thank you!!!!

[@FridaDaniel]

Thank you so much for this video, hands down the best tutorial for beginners in figma!!!

[@TheKevinMichael]

Gary! Thank you, this was so much fun! I have been scared to dabble in the UI/UX world but this video has help me gain so much confidence. Thank you!

[@arianazdadgar]

Hey, great course! thanks for that, there was just a couple of questions I had in some parts which I hope you can answer: 1- When you create a component do you do that within your design page and keep the original component as part of your design? OR can you actually creat a new page for your designs and put all your main components there and reuse across your design pages? If it is possible then how do toy prototype your component to link to different direction? 2- I've tried making an image gallery by hand but is there a good plugin you recommend to creat gallery layout? In sketch there was a Make Grid command which really helped copying rows and columns of one shape, anything similar in Figma? 3- Do I need to create a hove and Click page for each of those images? Or is it something that UI designers only create one sample of and then developers replicate that behaviour to other images when coding? 4- It would be great to get some more advice on creating responsive layouts and breaking points, using the Auto Layout is really tricky! I was trying to creat a hero banner with text in it and a button and the image to cover 3/4 of the banner and it was just so confusing... any videos you can suggest to watch to learn more about responsivness? Many thanks, look forward to your upcoming tutorials. Arianaz

[@angelogramatica9967]

Wow. Just wow! Very good work. I'll be on your course soon.

[@lillykeule5416]

Thank you so much for the video I’m communications designer and I’m new to figma and im so surprised how good it works for me Indesign is dead and much more trouble to work with it. Very good video it helped me a lot to build my portfolio. Greetings from Germany

[@lillykeule5416]

[@brigittekoch2001]

Thank you so much Simon. I'm a beginner and your video helped me a lot 👌👍😁 !!

[@hirakeshchandraroy3007]

Incredibly Useful and brilliant presentation.

[@attilabodi826]

Great video, thank you. I just got a Figma project, so I'm here to learn EVERYTHING.

[@nicxzmiller]

Thinking of adding more pages and different dynamics. Thanks for opening the door

[@postcardsfrommel490]

This was SO helpful! Thank you. You have no idea how happy this made me!

[@simpleyute]

I felt like a real designer doing this :) 😃

[@aniketborkar7114]

Great effort by you man. Really its grateful to watch your tutorial.

[@mustafa_ahmed394]

Hi Gary, I love this crash course. I had been using Adobe XD for some time now and willing to come back to Figma. A lot has changed and thanks to this course, I can get back in no time. I want to ask you why didn't you use the grid column layout to design the pages? like the vertical columns. Any specific reason? and also, can you make a design crash course that has the basic vertical column layout of a website. The basic layout that most of the internet hosts. I want to clearly learn that kind of website design from you. Thanks for your time!

[@Kamilek96]

It could be fun to bulid this with html/css/js in 2021 frontend development crash course... I'm just saying :D

[@quadraticequation8196]

Good Idea!! 💡

[@ceejay_gaming9636]

Good Idea my friend

[@Pavfixers]

agree

[@tavospok]

It is totally possible

[@jefferibenne749]

Am with ya on this

[@dinc06]

Use a layout grid!!! It drives me crazy when a "designer" doesn't use a grid

[@last_shaman8992]

Hallelujah! I thought I was the one who resented that. Absolute unprofessionalism in teaching others by irregular methods. A case where the teacher needs to learn on his own.

[@eleniminadaki6781]

Very helpful video. Thank you!

[@figmintutorials]

Agree!

[@jakeforman8194]

love your work Gary and appreciate your time teaching-im new to ux/ui so side stepping into a new career and your video's are so helpful

[@akul9523]

At 36:55 when I auto layout my 3 objects get disoriented, why?

[@yehyakhaledfawzi]

Thank you so much. Your explanation is amazing. I could do everything successfully because of ur amazing explanation.

[@snoorman9189]

this is a fantastic tutorial for improving Figma skills. Thanks very much!

[@coder.e.d.8060]

Thank you, Gary, I really enjoyed this and was able to follow along in Figma and learn some new stuff. I appreciate that you made this video!

[@ovrsees]

Thanks for this tutorial! Helped me complete my first design. :D

[@catt_1763]

thanks for teaching me some ui/ux principles and figma tips sir :)

[@mihagrobler6810]

Dayum, from now on I7m using the term LOW CHEAPING!

[@iamtheguy5485]

Loved the trumpet 🎺

[@marlenestoffers7496]

Great lesson! Thank you so much.. I haven't used the program in a long time, and needed to learn the basics in 10 seconds. You saved me!

[@musiceveryday9226]

3:38 video starts

[@gaguhj]

Can't wait for your course :)

[@curts_uniquecomposites]

That looks great! But should you wire frame it our first and add grids over the design?

[@chetanyadav]

Thanks. Learned more than the Linkedin learning course.

[@ScienceSeekho]

You messed up around the portfolio thumbnail part they were behaving incorrectly

[@jezabels95]

Very very detailed and useful video, thank you so much for all the free information!

[@laurenhawkins470]

I've been using Sketch for so long. I think it's a comfort thing that I've avoided Figma. But after watching this video I'm emotionally ready to make the change. X Thanks Gary.

[@King-tp6ui]

Do you need to code to post a figma canvas to website?

[@preetiwhendancing]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH .

[@sundaramurthybit8414]

Simply Superb and Clear Explanation

[@mdyousufgazi4030]

thank you so much for this video! i was waiting for Figma for a while

[@bahaajasim3793]

Thank you Gary for this amazing video. It's made in Jan. and I watched it in Dec. 😀

[@pastuh]

Nice result :) watched all. Now need to find part 2 how to 'extract' design

[@AdedayoKing]

i love you design course thank you this video is old but helped me alot thank you so so much

[@nicholasgood470]

Really great overview - thanks

[@enoyoung.]

A simpler way to get the hovering effect he did is by creating an overlay instead of duplicating the frame. You can achieve the same thing, plus it's simpler. Great tutorial, though.

[@juicejuice1455]

This! :)

[@imertron]

Thank you so much for this tut! Concise and useful. I got up to speed in no time!

[@valentinabearzotti7747]

thanks!!!! this is so useful!!! i've learned a lot plus i took your ui design bootcamp on scrimba (already finished it) and man I learned so many things thank you very much

[@CoryTheSimmons]

Great tutorial. Would love to see some stuff on working with Team Libraries and such.

[@juanmamani2110]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing! And what about next challenge from figma to html? It will be great to learn all workflow.

[@thecoderguy2566]

Thank you soo much for this course , it helped me alot to learn Figma and enhance my Skills!!

[@ojcsimmons7101]

Good video for getting started in Figma.

[@AASH-ml1kv]

Can someone help me? Whenever I try to auto layout like in 46:53, the whole text justs moves to the bottom. I cant find the fix for this. TIA

[@madannag8241]

Hi Gary.... Just want to know what's the future and demand for UI and UX.. Let's say next 10 yrs....

[@rajesht9702]

Thank you Simon. Excellent Work. I Really Appreciate It.

[@nicks252]

"I should pay for this, winrar, its only been 20 yrs" :D Thanks for this great video, appreciate your great effort :)

[@kikel4n]

I really love this crash course. So helpful.

[@satyamshukla1211]

Woah sir it made my diy sir... Love from India

[@BlackPenguinStudios1972]

Thank you . Thank you, this was so much fun! And easy to follow

[@johnrood1017]

Super video! I applauded for $5.00 👏👏

[@PomidorowaArmata]

Ok I went through the tutorial and I have a question. Let's say the prototype I am working on is complex and I have 20 pages like that you have shown. I got a reply from my principal that he wants me to add one more menu option and different background. Do I have to do it 20 times or I can change it in one single place?

[@dwaclips]

the blue line under "great" should be thinner and more skeuomorphic of a line drawn by hand.

[@aaraamuthan]

Best tutorial for figma and ui design fundamentals👍

[@RealMcDudu]

How is your background removal for your video is so good? Using green screen? Some special app? Thanks!

[@Norell88]

Yes, I need to learn Figma. Thank you brother

[@vitalykrepak9702]

This is the best lesson on KZbin, please make the same for mobile app :-)

[@FloKorp86]

Decent tutorial and it's definitely a good introduction, but unfortunately there is a misunderstanding about Figma. It's not a design tool at all. I mean, why not use Sketch or Illustrator if you're just designing!? No. Figma is a collaboration tool for designers, developers and marketing which has prototyping built-in, but most importantly generates the CSS and delivers components ready to copy and paste to build UI faster by devs. Would have been nice to highlight these features too. Maybe a follow up video using Figma in conjunction with say a React app and go through some real world scenarios focusing on Figma in a company setting?

[@minalsontakke-v8h]

The best tutorial and well explained, very nicely done.. big thumps up..

[@juleskobelin]

What a great teacher you are! Thank you!

[@abdullotif95]

i have seen most of your tutorial & i like it very much .Can you create an accounting web application prototype creating tutorial. i think it can be very helpful for many people like me. thank you very much for creating this kind tutorial.

[@learn3165]

Thanks you very much for your free courses it really helps me a lot because I am a self taught learner, It would be great if you create more free courses on javascript and Ui design with figma

[@eniolaolusola7260]

Yasssssss!!! Thank you Gary!

[@soonkpaik2037]

Is there anyone who saw a weird behavior when press shift+a for auto layout? elements that are supposed to be inside of rectangle jumps out of the box? The reason for this weird jump is that your text box frame is larger than your rectangle. shrink the frame size of the text box down then all are fine.

[@AASH-ml1kv]

i tried this, it still doesnt work. Any other suggestions? Thanks

[@zackviccaji6342]

Not fixed

[@petit_oppa]

Hello, I have a problem at 36:53, when I select all and do Shift+A, the text go under the rectangle.. Impossible for me to make them one. How can I do?

[@zackviccaji6342]

Same here, did you find the fix?

[@ewertonestacio]

53'40 - What purpouse does it serve? I don't know but it looks really good! XD Amazing!!!!! Thanks for the content!
