This video is 9 months old. Have the software changed its design because the bar is not on the top for example, also the assets and layers are not placed in the exact order. Anyone?
Hello, I’m a software engineer from Pakistan. Since many days I was thinking to learn about figma, your single tutorial is enough for me from basics to advanced. You teach it very well and amazingly easy. Thanks ❤️❤️
I watched your microsoft access video but am too lazy to get back to it, so I am commenting here instead. I just want to say Thank you. I have been on the internet for a while and every tutorial I find is long, complicated and frustrating. I have seen a couple of your videos now and honestly these tutorials are incredible, it's like somebody has read my mind for how tutorials should be, I am annoyed I am only finding you now. Thank you so much!!
This was 100% worth watching all the way through, I have been watching other videos / tutorials and kept getting lost and usually staring at my own blank frame wondering what or how to get started you covered everything EXTREMELY well. One thing I will add is I hope to learn more about the "libraries" options and even "how to centralize components and styles" as it may get messy or confusing for example on a large project, if not maintained / organized in a centralized place. Maintaining and organization has been 90% of my current struggle with design, knowing what needs to be consistently applied globally and where and how to update those easily. Most of my projects have started out as a single-use component with custom styling then expanded to repeated usage and styling. That could have all been avoided if planned early on but its now too messy and too large to easily fix without massive refactoring since I did not plan ahead the layout and design before actually creating the project in code. Now I have started templating more of my repeating components and styles and even pages which has INSANELY simplified the process. Overall thank you for the high quality and very well edited and explained course. This is invaluable to anyone new to figma like myself and an amazing starting point for getting comfortable, although it was a basic layout/design of an app and not something more expansive like a website design I think that would have just made it more complicating to actually understanding the fundamentals needed for that next step. **(I will comeback and update just leave a reply if you're curious to remind me after learning more)** I hope this overview is not missing any important or key info that is crucial to beginners like: "How to layout and design scrollable content" as that seems uncovered and not explained at all. "Dev Mode" (Code toggle "" top right seemed interesting but uncovered), I realized it's paywalled. Not a problem for my intentions, as this is mainly just for reference / planning. Not for development it seems the dev mode is not mature enough *yet* to take a **whole figma project** and create code like React JSX with Styling consistently, without requiring heavily refactoring most of the code by hand as I have been but it's looking like it may be viable in the near future. I am curious how AI like Claude being so good at understanding images and coding might be very helpful when doing things like creating components from the exported PNG images as I have had quite amazing results in other instances so that will be very cool to test and experiment with possibly removing some of the mundane code that is required for components and templates **Personal disclaimer / info below for anyone who is interested / thinks I should just do it myself without AI (Feel free to ignore past this if you don't care)** I personally understand how to code in many languages including JS/TS/JSX and create and style components, it would just be a nice way to quickly get some foundational boilerplate out of the way and save time on mundane repetitive tasks and experiment with capabilities. - I DO NOT recommend this approach to others, especially if you do not understand how to write components. At minimum you should understand what the code does fully, unless purely for learning. - It's not perfect and does require knowing what the code is actually doing and usually how to prompt properly to get the correct output. If you don't you will most likely waste more time debugging and fixing issues this way, than if you just learned and coded it yourself as you will end up with something you can't understand. - At the same time this IS a great way to learn, by trial and error in a **safe dev environment** using AI as your teacher getting first hand experience by testing and getting personalized explanations compared to reading docs that are very generalized and not easy to understand. - Needless to say it's very dangerous in production to do this, you should be able to explain the code you are using including everything it does before deploying it publicly or you may end up with problems if you review the code and question anything its best to check docs and also ask AI about it and get informed fully and double check it. Think of this as if a expert was asking you why you have this code is the best way to think of it.
Hey thank you Kevin, I am a high performing sci and tech teacher, my wheel house is biological sci. Years ago I found the need to add engineering and physical sci to my tool kit. Currently, I am studying design and CAD. One of my degrees is in Studio Art, however, all this tech wasn't available when I was in college. I need to add the cad design in a simplistic program so that the students can eventually use the laser engravers and 3d printers I have acquired through a lot of luck and hard work. You may think cell phone app design is not related but the basic components to design is a great stepping stone to lead the young scholars into more dynamic engineering and design concepts. Please continue to create content like this. you are effecting the global community hugely. If you have any advice or ideas that can support me, please feel free to share. Oh, one of my goals is to get them to the point where they can design and 3D print their own drone and robot parts. Thank you Kevin!
I do not usually comment on UA-cam, but I am taking the time to thank you and say how much I appriciate this video and its content, incredible creator!
This is exactly what I was looking for in trying to learn Figma to design an app. After I watched it I went back to add this comment and was confused. I thought the tutorial was 20 mins. That's how good it is! It felt much shorter than it really was but gave all info needed!
I've looked at a few demo videos about Figma, and this is by far the best one I've found. Thank you so much for your clarity and simplicity as you give this tutorial.
Love your teaching, many thanks. My suggestion: know many videos are for beginners, but I think it is about time for you to create some more in depth, intermediate and higher tutorials. Of course, your usual style - concise, engaging and down to earth. Thanks a lot!!!
Excellent job with this. I have viewed a bunch of different training videos on Figma, and by far you do the best job. I am just looking for more from you on Figma. I don't see more in the play list or on a search. I really want to learn more than just the basics.
What a great tutorial video! I just started a new job which requires me to use Figma most of the time. I didn't have any experience with the software before. This video really helps a lot. Thanks so much!
Omg! I am from the Philippines and been watching your videos! This is super helpful! No need for me to enroll to an online course for figma, you explained everything very well!!! Thank You!
Bro your contents are the best. It takes forever to cover topics in a semester but here, it took me only less than an hour to grasped your contents. UA-cam university the best!!
I think figma is an incredible resource if you learn to use it wisely. Your video provided me so much insight. For a complex interface like this, you broke it down nicely. Keep up the good work.
Wow, that was so comprehensive and helpful. I needed to have a basic understanding of FIGMA and this was certainly the best video that I could have watched. Thank you!
hello, I am from the states, I am currently using Figma, used your awesome tutorial but it is outdated, can you please update with the new look and use?
I rarely left comments, but this tutorial was absolutely brilliant. It would have saved me hours on my wireframing assignments if I would watch it before XD. Thanks a lot Kevin!
This is an incredible crash course. It does get you ready to start using figma from the first click. With enough hours of research and this video as basis you can really start making complex designs. Thank you for your effort Kevin!
thanks for the tutorial, it was a really good walk through. only issue I had was getting the auto layout set up properly, but the issue I had was the button scaling when you re-type the words in, it scales with the text. It did not. I could not find a fix online for it, so ill look into it later. Its not a big deal, more of a preference to have it work, and after watching that part over and over, and trying a method of fill instead of creating a rectangle and linking it to the text, both ways did not work. Either way, this was super helpful and gave me a lot more confidence to learn more about figma in general, so thank you. here is a like and a subscribe!
yes that happened to me too. ive had to use the text by itself and made it a frame. then filled in the background and curve the edges so it looks like a button and then pressed auto layout .
i kinda had the same problem, I have a different (new) version of Figma I guess.. anyway I found out how to do it: select the Frame and in the Auto layout width & height select the "hug contents" in the dropdown options.. hope it helps!
This was really good...Thank you so much. i am a beginner and I needed something that showed the most current version of Figma and how to use the features.

Your teaching skills are just absolutely phenomenol, so easy to understand and follow along. The flow and speed are also just perfect!
Kevin this was by far the best simplest and straight forward crash course I've taken on Figma... highly appreciated sir
Dude, you have a great teaching style, which I hope to adopt myself.
This video is just what I needed to sharpen my Figma skills-clear, detailed, and incredibly comprehensive! Great job!!
Excellent delivery of knowledge - not a second was a waste. Thank you!
Great tutorial Kevin - as always you rock.
Thanks I'm 21 years old and I do love creating art but I want to move something professional and I landed on your video it's helped me ❤
Thank you for the tutorial, It was really easy to follow. Your explanations were gratifying. Keep going!
