Transcripts

1. Figma UI UX Course Introduction: Welcome everyone to my course. I'm Aaron. I'm a UIUX designer. I will teach you how to create UIUX design with FIGMA. So we will discuss about what is UI, what is UX relationship between UI and UX. At last, we will discuss about the FIGMATol we will use to create E-commerce UIUX design. So this is our course agenda. Let's start the course. 2. Figma Class 1 : What is UI ?: We will discuss about what is UI. So UI fulfm User Interface. So when the user opens your application, first, they will see your design. What are all the colors you are using? What are all the text topography you are using? What is the design you are using? That is the first they will see. That is the UI. So you can see that User Interface. It is the visual interactive layer of the product like buttons, layouts, topography, colors, micro interactions that people see and use. So design is very, very important. If your design is not good, people will ignore your application. Visual designs like typography, font size, font family, colors, what are all the colors you are using, matching colors, attractive colors you are using, iconography, icons you are using for your applications, spacing, spacing is nothing like one space of button to another space, how many distance you are using. That is the spacing. That is the visual design. And interaxensH one button is interacting to another button, how one page is interacting to another page. That is the interaxen interaxens like Osay transitions, feedback that guide user acons. And then responsiveness. If your design is suitable to all applications like Android, IOS, iPad, iPhone, desktop web applications, that is the responsiveness. Your design will be response to all other platforms. So designs that adapt to screen sizes and input methods. Screen sizes is nothing but for a desktop 920 pixel in thousand 80 pixel for mobile phones, it will be 916 or one is one. That is the responsiveness design sizes. So this is the UI. UI is nothing but it is a design of your application. Your design must be good and easy to use. 3. Figma Class 2 : What is UX ?: Now we will discuss about what is UX. So UX is nothing but interacts and experience. So you are creating a button. So if the user selects the button, it goes to another page. So that is the interaxonsH the user experiencing your application. User Experience, focus on the overall field effectiveness of your application. So mostly, if you are creating any applications, you need to research first. You need to research the users, what applications you are creating. First, you need to understand the user, and then their goals. What are their goals? And then pain points. Why are they are rejecting other application? Why they need to use your application? For that, you need to find the pain points and then context, and then description of your project. So first, you need to find your users, and then you need to find the goal of your users and why they are suffering in the other product, why they need to change to your product. You need to find the pain points. So for example, in some other applications, they are very struggling to use the applications. But in your application, it is very, very simple, very, very easy to use. That is the pain point. You need to find the pain points. And then strategy. Strategy is nothing but you need to construct perfect architectures, perfect goals, perfect user flows. One page goes to next page. Next page goes to another page. The flow will be continuous. And it will be easy to navigate. That is the second strategy. And then validation. You need to check whether our application works properly or not. You need to test your prototypes and you need to get the user feedbacks. And then you need to update, upgrade your applications. So this is UX, User Experience, how they experience your application. Basic, you need to research first and then understand their goals, and then get the feedback and then update your application. That's it. 4. Figma Class 3 : UI UX Relationship: We will discuss about relationship between UI and UX. So both are combined. Without this, this cannot be work. Without this, this cannot be work. Without UI, without design, UX cannot be work. Without the experience, UI is waste. Okay. So UI is the visual implementation, how the user sees your application, how the user sees your design. UX is nothing but how they are experiencing your product, whether they are struggling or easy to use your product. And then prototyping is nothing but how you are getting the feedback, how you are testing your application and iterating your application. Okay, that's it. So this is the relationship, design and experience. Your design is good, experience is good, then your application is success. 5. Figma Class 4 : Designer's Tool: We will discuss about why designers use Figma why they are preferring Figma to create UIUX design. So first thing, real time collaboration. They can collaborate with their team members, UIUX designers. If your team contains ten members, they can collaborate. One member can create login page. One member can create home page, one member can create product page like that. They can collaborate. And then component system in FICMA there is a community page. In that you can find a lot of templates, lot of components, lot of icons. You can use those components for your design. So that's the second advantage. And third, interactive prototyping. After you complete your design, you can easily create a prototype. That's the second, third advantage. And then fourth, there are a lot of plugins, interactions available in Figma. So this is why users prefer FIGMA to create UIUX design. So in the next class, we will discuss about FIGMATol and how to create a E-commerce UIUX design in Figma. 6. Figma Class 5 : Figma Tool Community Page: Okay, now we will discuss about how to install FICMA in our system. Then we will discuss about how to create our first app. So for that, you need to open the official website of FICMA. Inside that, you need to check for your OS. So I'm going to use Windows. If you are using MAC, you can download Mac. I'm using Windows. So it will start to download o to wait for that. After that, you need to create your account in FICMA. So you need to log in with the ICMA and then create your account. Just wait for the installation. So just open the EXE five. Okay. You have to login with your account. So just select your browser. Okay, now we are successfully login with our account. So just open the desktop app, and then you have to select Open FICMA So this is the interface for Figma. So you can see your account information, and then you can see recent files community. So in communities, you can find a lot of templates, icons for your design. For that, for example, I will saw some templates and icons, icons. If you select icons, you can see a lot of icons useful for your design applications. So if you are creating any mobile applications, you can find mobile applications. Or if you want any specific icons like social media icons or website icons, you can also find here from the community. So let me check so I will check the fast one. There are some paid. You can also use paid icons or you can also use free icons. We will check the free icons. So this is free. You have to open Figma. This is the free one, scroll down, you can see the icons. So I think it is not usable, we will check another. So we will check this. Okay. So this is usable. So you can just copy this and then you can paste here. Okay. Likewise, you can use the specific icons for your design. So communications, lot of icons, ecommerce, lot of icons, Pis lot of icons, arrows, you can use a lot of arrows here, media, you can also use the media icons, interfaces, reload like that, you can use EOGs, math calculations, general components. So a lot of icons will be present here. You can use that. This is the example for icons. We will check logging page. Okay. Logging page, Template. Okay, we will check this. I think this is image only. We cannot use any icons from this. So you can check the templates. If you want this template, you can use for your designs. So we will check another. So these are the examples for web page login. We will check for mobile login. Okay. So this is editable login page template. Okay? You can edit the text. You can edit those So this is the template. From this, you can find the designs. You can check the designs, how they are designing the log in page, how they are creating the log in page. What are all the components you needed from this template? You can copy those. This is how you can use the Community page. So that's the advantage of community pages. You can check the templates, you can check the icons for your design. And then you can find the drafts, folders, resources, and trash. 7. Figma Class 6 : Figma Tools Overview: So now we will see how to create a sample page. For that, you have to select design. So you need to close this, and then we will change the name, rename the Pi. E-commerce app design. Okay, we will create ecommerce app. So first, we will check the options available in the design page. This is the file. What are all the files layers present in your design? It will be present here, and then agent. So there is an A agent you can use for your design. And then assets, what are all the assets you are using? Like icons, templates like that? It will be present here. And then tools, what are all the tools you want to use for your design? It will be present here, and then variables. If you are creating any variables, components or like that, it will be present here. So here you can see the designing options like Mo tool and then hand tool hand tool scale tool, if you want to scale anything you can use. Mostly, we will use Motool then frames. So this is the frames. If you want to create any IOS frames, it will be present here. For example, if I want to create iPhone 17 design based, you to select this, then the frame will be created here. Or if you want to remove this, you can simply Select delete option. Okay? It will be deleted. Or if you want to create any frame for tablet, you can use the absence like iPad surface like that.

You can see that corner radius is reduced. If you select more option, corner radios will be reduced. But we need some values only, okay? It is enough. If you want to change the color of your frame, you can use the color option here. If you want red, you can use red. If you want other colors, you can use other colors, you can use that. Or if you want to use linear corner radius options, radial options, or diamond based options, or angular based options, any angular Options, you can use. So if you want to change the background to image like that, you can use this option also. So you can say this option right image. So you can upload the image from your system.
