Use lines to structure designs in Figma, separating header and body text, and use arrows with Shift+L to connect steps for clear user flows.

Master the ellipse tool in figma to create circles and ovals for avatars, buttons, and icons, using the shift key for perfect circles and filling shapes with images.

Master the polygon tool to create triangles and polygons with configurable sides, corner radii, color fills, and strokes using the toolbar and appearance panel.

Learn to master the star tool in Figma by adjusting count, radius, and depth; apply stroke, color, inner shadow, and pen tool techniques to craft dynamic badges.

Master advanced Figma tools in module five, editing images, colors and blend modes, gradient masks, typography, strokes, shadows, and background blur to enhance ui/ux design.

Explore how to edit images in Figma using the fill tool, adjusting contrast, saturation, temperature, tint, highlights, and shadows to recreate grayscale and other looks.

Explore color and blend modes to transform images with overlays, manipulating the top layer to achieve soft light or hard light effects, and share your freestyle designs.

Explore how gradients blend two or more colors into a container, apply gradient fills, and master type options—linear, radial, angular, and diamond—for dynamic interface designs in Figma.

Learn how to use masks in Figma by fitting a top image into a container beneath, duplicating and aligning layers, and applying mask techniques to reveal the shape beneath.

Learn shape selectors—union, exclude, intersect, and subtract—to blend two shapes into unique forms. Apply strokes, grouping, and masking to color and finalize the composite.

Master the pen tool with pencil integration, using shortcuts (P, Ctrl/command, Alt/option), bending curves via handles, and applying shift constraints to create clean icons.

Align frames on a straight line with vertical or horizontal alignment, then distribute spacing to achieve even gaps, and practice arranging elements with a simple assignment.

Explore freestyle creativity with the pencil tool in Figma, using Shift B and Shift P to switch pens, click and drag to craft playful landing page ideas.

Explore typography in Figma, mastering line height, letter spacing, font family and weights, text alignment, underline and strike through, and using truncate, subscripts, and auto versus fixed height and width.

Learn strokes and borders by building shapes with full and dashed strokes, applying one-sided borders on left or right, and creating precise lines with duplicate, rotate, and shift techniques.

Learn how drop shadows elevate objects in Figma, control direction with the x and y axis, adjust blur, spread, and color, and blend multiple shadows for clean elevation.

Explore inner shadows in design, learning to create depth with inner shadows using the effects panel, adjusting blur, y position, and spread to achieve subtle three dimensional cards.

Learn how the layer below creates blur and color blending with the drop shadow, adjusting opacity and effect settings to blend colors into the background.

Learn to recreate a glass morphism UI using background blur, gradients, strokes, and controlled opacity, applying appearance settings to craft a polished glass effect.

Master copying style properties to quickly replicate card designs by using copy properties and paste commands, with Mac and Windows shortcuts like Command C and Command V.

Explore advanced features in Figma and build on foundational skills from modules four and five to enhance UX design workflows.

Master auto layout in figma to manage padding and spacing for buttons and cards. Build responsive user interface by nesting auto layout, using hug content, and applying constraints.

Explore how layout and grid form the foundation for consistency by aligning text, images, and dashboards. Learn column, row, and modular grids, with counts, offsets, widths, gutters, and color cues.

Learn how to create reusable components and variants in Figma, manage icons and buttons with overrides, and apply auto layout and constraints to build consistent UI cards.

Explore responsive design in figma by building a navbar and auto-layout cards that adapt across frames and device sizes, including 14 pro max and 14 plus.

Join module seven by exploring how Figma enables collaborative design across a team, with comments, the inspect tool for developers, sharing, exporting assets, plugins, and team libraries.

Explore real time collaboration in Figma, manage avatars and colors for each user, follow teammates, and leave live comments while tracking version history and feedback.
