I used to think that using pre-made design components was a bad thing, but after watching your video, I realize it's actually efficient and smart. Thank you for helping me understand that there's no need to create all things on my own. I feel much better now! Thanks a lot 😊
@@KuldeepSingh047I’m so glad to hear that!!! Yes, we borrow things all the time whether it’s icons, illustrations or UI components, it’s all about how you put it together to make great things and solve problems for users. Good luck❤
This is amazing, as a newbie, this is the very definition of not reinventing the wheel. Let the senior designers creative a design system. Thank you, Thank you.
I feel like there's pre-Designer Up, and post-Designer Up levels to design. Your channel's content is incredible and this video just blew my mind even more. Thank you so much, I've been really enjoying and learning a ton from your videos!
This comment really made me smile 😁I so appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and so happy that you are learning a lot from the content!
Thank you so much for sharing this information. One of my in interview, the interviewer asked me that "why material design system is famous?" That time I did not understand but now I understand and know the answers. Thank you for sharing this 😃
This is so incredibly useful! Been procrastinating for a while on building my portfolio website, because design isn't my strength, but this should help a lot. Thank you!
Unfortunately, I do not know English. So, I understand something but not everything. But that's not the case at all in this video. No hectic lecture. Clearly and distinctly spoken. And everything explained to the point. TOP. This is really fun. I understood everything. Thanks a lot
@@DesignerUp So, in the video here, I understood everything. That fits. But 85% of all tutorials from others I understand only with difficulty or not at all... I must soon look at your other tutorials 🙂
This video is a valuable resource for designers everywhere, and I'm grateful for the time and effort you put into creating it. Thank you for sharing your expertise with the community and helping us all improve our design skills. 👍
Very comprehensive review. i am now familiar with the design process, using Design Toolkits and Figma itself, even though i am a complete stranger to it. thank you so much! you are really good at this!
From a survey I recently did, these can be helpful up to a point but you eventually come to find that the user experience you’re trying to achieve and problems you are solving will have specific implications on your own product and UI flows as you scale. Ultimately many end up using a combination of these kits + thier own UI kits. Short answer: it’s common, but not exclusively and only up to a point.
Thanks for the overview. I'm a newbie to Figma but a long-time front-end dev. I'm confused about the next steps after laying out the components. How does this translate into styles for an app or website? Can you point me to a video that addresses this?
Nice! But allow me one question to ask: What to do, when the Angular Material Kit is realeased in a new version? How to update my own copy in Figma? Thanks in advance 🙂
06:41 "...harmonized and accessible ..." . . . SOMETHING HAPPENS HERE . . . "...and then when you find something".... You kind of jumped from nothing in the background to a color palette appearing in the background out of nothing. Can you please explain how you did it?
Thank you so much for putting this content together. I love the simplicity of how you walk us through the kit usage. I have been struggling with how to use kits for my design. I did have a question, you chose the small screen to start your design and it was a 600*800. When I dont use the kit and I choose from frames to build my design and I select iPhone 14 as an e.g. the size I get is 390*844. What am I not understanding here?
I have a few questions: 1. Is it okay to admit to a recruiter that I used Google Material Design system? 2. How should I share my work with others? Should I hide that I'm using the Material Design system? 3. When creating a case study, should I share the Material Design components, typography, and colors I've used?
1. Yes, you can share with a recruiter that you used MDS as a starting point just make sure you are customizing it and creating flows that meet your own user research requirements. 2. You ultimately should be customizing this and just using it as a starting point. Perfectly fine to share that you are doing so 3. Yes you can. Ideally you want to be working on your skill and craft and learning how to create your own UI components but it’s fine to disclose whenever you are using an existing kit as a starting point.
Great video! Thank you so much for making this! one question, how did you generate the color platte?? I didn't see that part.... and the typography too...
Thank you! I have one concern however. The way you're adding the instance-frame at 03:35 is not gonna work because you don't create a frame and hence - it cannot be viewed as a prototype (preview won't work).
Hi, and thanks for your tutorial, I don't know why I'm wrong or if my figma doesn't work well, but I can't get the plugin to work. It's really frustrating because I'm also very expert in Figma, but this plugin doesn't work for me and I could use it a lot. It practically doesn't generate the graphic elements when I click on diagram generation.
please describe how to use the prototype of these components for example If we drag and drop the menu from the material to our design then will it be responsive or will we have to make it by ourselves.
I believe that many of them are. If not through the brand's site directly, then through the UI kits plugin for Adobe XD here helpx.adobe.com/sg/xd/help/access-ui-kits.html
I'm having trouble getting the material theme builder plugin to generate/create the color pallet and typography scale. It seems that the color diagram option in the plugin settings just links you to the Figma page of the material 3 design kit. Is there something I'm missing or can you not generate the color ramps/typography with the plugin anymore?
Thanks for the great content. A question on M3, when the theme builder generates a palette on custom color, some of the colors generated are not something we like. How would we use the DS if we wanted say a different shade for Secondary or a State?- can we pick n choose shades and auto-update the components?
Hi Elizabeth, thank you so much for sharing! Your content is super helpful, but I have a question: since it's much easier and quicker to build prototypes while design systems are widely used, do we still need to spend a lot of time learning UI/Figma skills if my goal is to become a UX/UI or product designer as opposed to becoming a UI designer?
It’s not your title so much that matters but the expectations and responsibilities dictated by the company you are working for or the product you are working on. For example an early stage startup might expect their UX/UI designer to be able to do lots of rapid prototyping with existing UI kits until they get funding and can invest in hiring a UI focused designer to do eveything from scratch. An establish company might hiring a UX/UI designer to work strictly on building out their own design system. These are just two examples, context matters. Here’s another video that should help clarify some of the considerations: ua-cam.com/video/F09ZQUdzxVg/v-deo.html
With the ui kits from the community, there are also updates from time to time. How does this affect my loaded kit? Especially because I might want to make my own adjustments. And because I might not want to have all components 100% Google conform.
That is a good question and a common complaint about Figma community files in general. At this time there is no way to pull down updates seamlesslessly. You would need to copy the file again and copy over components or make changes manually. Hopefully this is a workflow issue they will consider addressing soon. forum.figma.com/t/need-a-way-to-get-latest-updates-or-subscribe-to-changes-from-a-published-community-file/32571

Hi, i don't understand, we can use the design system of material design/microsoft (or whatever), but each project have his own visual identity, so can use it for a real project ?
the thing is , there is a very important rule in design called Jakob's law, so this is very important to use ui kits for formal website where the purpose of the web app is to enable the user in navigating easily even on a website they have never used before, but because you adhere to the principles like Jakob's law, the user will still be very familiar with your website. This is the true purpose of ux design.

Absolute goldmine. I'm new to UX/UI, how common is it for designers to create UI from scratch, when they can just use these kits and modify them?
From a survey I recently did, these can be helpful up to a point but you eventually come to find that the user experience you’re trying to achieve and problems you are solving will have specific implications on your own product and UI flows as you scale. Ultimately many end up using a combination of these kits + thier own UI kits. Short answer: it’s common, but not exclusively and only up to a point.
