Auto layout driving you crazy? Scared of what will happen with your design in the browser? Then this class is just right for you! We will learn everything about how to set up responsive designs in Figma. This is going to be a real deep dive into auto layout, constraints, and, most importantly but rarely discussed, how to deal with breakpoints for your UI design, ranging from a simple setup to a more advanced approach with variables and modes. Understanding and combining these tools will help you set up components, design patterns, and entire pages that align with code settings. With the Figma course material file, you can work alongside me or return to exercises with detailed instructions in your own time. This class is right for you if you have basic knowledge of Figma or if you are an advanced Figma user and want to brush up on your skills.
