Understanding Figma

What is Figma?

• Figma is a cloud-based design tool.

• Figma is a cooking utensil.

• Figma is a type of dance.

• Figma is a species of plant.

Name one key feature of Figma.

• Offline editing

• Limited design tools

• No cloud storage

• Real-time collaboration

How does collaboration work in Figma?

• Multiple users can work on the same design file simultaneously in real-time.

• Only one user can work on a design file at a time

• Collaboration is limited to sharing screenshots via email

• Users can only view designs but not edit them

What is prototyping in Figma?

• Prototyping in Figma is the process of printing physical prototypes.

• Prototyping in Figma is the process of creating static images only.

• Prototyping in Figma is the process of creating interactive mockups to simulate user interactions and test functionality.

• Prototyping in Figma is the process of coding directly without visual design.

Explain the concept of design systems in Figma.

• Design systems in Figma are only for advanced users

• Design systems in Figma are not customizable

• Design systems in Figma are limited to color palettes only

• Design systems in Figma are a collection of reusable components, styles, and guidelines that help maintain consistency and efficiency in design projects.

What makes Figma a popular tool for designers?

• Collaborative features, ease of use, real-time editing, cross-platform compatibility, extensive design resources

• Limited design tools

• Offline editing only

• Incompatible with popular operating systems

How can multiple users work on the same Figma file simultaneously?

• Save the Figma file locally and share it via email for collaboration.

• Access the Figma file through the web application to collaborate simultaneously.

• Print out the Figma file and work on it manually.

• Use a different design tool that allows real-time collaboration.

What is the purpose of frames in Figma?

• To export designs as images

• To organize and group design elements together

• To add animations to elements

• To change the canvas size

How can components be used in Figma?

• By creating a component in Figma and then dragging instances of that component onto different frames or designs.

• By merging components with other elements in Figma

• By exporting components to external software in Figma

• By deleting components after use in Figma

Explain the difference between Figma and other design tools.

• Figma is only available offline

• Figma offers real-time collaboration, prototyping, and design system creation, setting it apart from other design tools.

• Figma lacks basic design features compared to other tools

• Figma does not support vector graphics
