User Experience focusses on the user and requires a variety of skills as a project moves through the various phases of the UX process. Since its first release as a browser-based design tool in 2016, Figma has established itself as the de facto UX Design tool for the industry.
In this book you will learn how the many of Figma’s tools and plugins are used in a team-based collaborative environment comprised of stakeholders, designers, and developers. As you move through the book you will learn where Figma fits in the UX process. For example, using FigJam for brainstorming, how to create interactive prototypes for mobile devices, tablets, and web sites. How Figma is used to create and integrate with Design Systems along with an overview of variables, when applied to Design System components, can accelerate the design and development workflow. You will learn how to create the artifacts such as Flow and Journey diagrams, Personas, and wireframes - using Figma’s tools and templates during the concept phase of a project. From there you will explore many design and interactivity features in Figma, and how to prepare a Figma file for handoff to a development team. All of these concepts will be explored through a series of step-by-step examples
UX has evolved into a “Team Sport”. You’ll see how the involvement of developers in every phase of product development is critical to not only focussing on the needs of the User but also adapting your development approach to match the evolving intent of the project. As well, you will discover, that the role of the developer in a collaborative workflow will highlight issues that are not apparent to the rest of the team which could have both a systems and financial impact.
The Developers Progress follows the progress of a developer through the UX process and shows how your role not only involves traditional development but also straddles the collaborative space between meeting User needs and the UX Design and Development process.
