I'm amazed at what our customers have built in Figma. I've asked a few designers to share just a teensy peek of what they've built. Figma, under the covers as I like to call it.

Join our space where @pablostanley and I talk shop: twitter.com/i/spaces/1vAxR…

🧵 Some examples:
In @JustinMezzell's "Project Terrarium", he's taking illustration systems to a whole new level. Quickly change up colors using selection colors & color styles.

There's colors for shadows (w/ blending modes) as well as objects in the terrarium are swappable components.
With @pablostanley's @blushdesignapp, your illustrations are super-powered with a plugin. You can create own compositions with different stickers, like this living room scene with plants, sofas, and cats...all of the cats!

Try it yourself: bit.ly/3uWxm63
You can even use harmonious color schemes in your illustration compositions, in the @blushdesignapp plugin, to recolor your artwork...or color it yourself in Figma.

When @oatenbeard from @Twitch shared his design system and incredible use cases of variants, I just gushed. Everything is responsive and so many options!
@oatenbeard goes a step further in this component for @Twitch — get a load of this responsive and collapsible side side bar, complete with aspect ratio respecting thumbnails.

Do more with video in your prototypes. We’ve made it easier to create realistic video players in Figma.

Add interactions that let you play, pause, mute, or skip to timestamps in a single frame. And you can now trigger events with video playback.

See more in the 🧵
You can now preview videos in the design panel. Play or scrub the video preview and get the perfect timestamp for your interactions.
Place multiple videos at once, drag to resize when placing, or add as a fill to objects.

Add one or more videos using the place shortcut:
Mac: ⇧+⌘+K
Win: ⇧+Ctrl+K

or type “place” in the quick actions menu:
Mac: ⌘ +/ or ⌘ + P
Win: Ctrl +/ or Ctrl + P

Working smarter, not harder also applies to prototyping. 😉

Here are six #FigmaTips from Designer Advocate @_AnaBoyer for prototyping in Figma.

1/ Draw prototyping links from navigational components to reduce the need for repeatedly drawing connections.
2/ Create interactive components in your libraries, so designs that use those components already have micro-interactions built into their prototypes, adding an additional level of fidelity.
3/ Nest interactive components to reduce the number of prototyping links.

A few months ago, @linear experienced a DDoS that took down their freshly redesigned site. 💔

We spoke with their team about how they got the idea to make their homepage their Figma files, unintentionally throwing the Figma party of the year…

A few days prior to launch, @pacocoursey had teased the team's in-progress Figma files. Was now the perfect opportunity to finally share them with the world?

When their site went down, @jorilallo suggested forwarding their homepage to a public Figma file, and soon there were over 300 people swarming their designs… Image
