Note: Each designer develops unique habits for efficient alignment. It's important to adopt a technique that resonates with your style. Tools such as the Ruler (Shift + R) and Layout Grid are also helpful for alignment. The layout grid function is briefly discussed in the Design System episode. Remember, if you choose to use a Layout Grid, it's not necessary to align every element to it.
Key Takeaways:
1. Alignment is essential for trust-building during the high-fidelity design phase of a digital product.
2. Use the top right panels in Figma for perfect alignment.
3. Screen margin, the space around a screen's edge, usually ranges from 16 to 24 pixels.
4. Not sure about spacing? Stick to a scale of 4 or 8 for padding or coordinates.
5. Gestalt principles are about how we see patterns and structure in designs. They include:
- Similarity: Objects that look similar are perceived as related.
- Continuity: Our eyes follow lines and curves, linking elements smoothly.
- Closure: We fill in gaps to see complete figures.
- Proximity: Things close together seem grouped.
- Figure-Ground: We separate objects from their background.

I already have some knowledge about alignment, but your video provided more advanced insights, highlighting the importance of margins as well. I learned from your video that if an app or website has good alignment, users become more engaged. Thanks, Aliena

Can you please make a video on figma ui kit's in 2024 + grid stuff like 12 col /4 col/ 8 col it's confusing 😊

[@rathodvijay3904]

Super ❤

[@whatwashernamee]

Hi Aliena, thank you for your tips! I have a question - when I press the Option key on Mac, I can see the distances from my object if I hover over its edge, but they disappear when I move it. Is there a way to see the distances while moving the object? Otherwise I am not sure how I can place it symmetrically, do I have to keep going back and forth? It doesn't seem right.

[@nikunjparikh3237]

Hi do you use mouse along with MacBook or trackpad is sufficient for design ?

[@eduikezaki]

Thank you for the video.
I am following your tips while I am taking the google certificate, and you said that for the first personal project we should avoid making an ecommerce app and site. Is this valid until today? As I am going to the second course I was debating between an ecommerce focused on gamers where they can buy their equipment or an app for buying a pre-order album from a band. Which one would you recommend?
Thank you in advance

[@AlienaCai]

Hey there, usually I don't suggest people do build a e-commerce platform because the scope is very large and it's hard to justify your competitive analysis (e.g., how to compete with existing platforms like Amazon or eBay). If you are interested in gamers market, I'd suggest you to do more user interviews on how people are buying equipment or pre-order album today, then design a new feature on top of the existing products in the market 👍
Just my thought. You know yourself more than anyone ✨

[@eduikezaki]

@@AlienaCai Thank you so much for the insights. I really appreciate your time replying to my questions. I really like your videos and I am learning a lot from them. Soon I will be applying the fasttrack course =)
