Figma: new destination for designers.
Welcome to the Figma series brought to you by Design at Scale™ — Academy(↘︎Link). In the following nine articles, we will explore the history behind cloud-based design propositions called Figma. We’ll discuss how the product, service and research teams use it to their advantage within small, medium and large organisations. We’ll also touch on in-house and fully remote teams and design across multiple touch points, including functional integration with third parties. We’ll explore how we use the Figma App and organise the space and files in the App. More specifically, how we work with stages and layers and how these structures impact individual designers in complex corporations. This will grow from one file, one brand to many brands, many touch points, multiple versions and multiple propositions. Leave no gap behind covered with practical examples.
Disclaimer: This series does not focus on a design system or design system integration. However, it describes how we organise the files and what workflows and processes we have while working with the Figma environment and integrating with Atlassian Jira Confluence and bitBucket (or equivalent).
