How Do You Do Micro Interactions in Figma?

Last updated on November 25, 2022 @ 1:07 pm

Micro interactions are a key part of any digital product and can make or break the user experience. Figma is a great tool for designing and prototyping micro interactions. In this article, we’ll show you how to do micro interactions in Figma.

Creating a Micro Interaction

The first step is to create a new frame in Figma. To do this, click on the “+” icon in the left sidebar and select “Frame” from the menu. You can then give your frame a name and set its dimensions.

Once you have created your frame, you can start adding elements to it. For this example, we’ll add a button.

To do this, click on the “Add rectangle” icon in the toolbar and draw a rectangle on your canvas. You can then use the “Edit” panel to change the color, border, and other properties of your button.

Next, we’ll add an interaction to our button. To do this, select the button and click on the “Interactions” tab in the right sidebar.

Here you can add triggers, such as “on hover” or “on click”, and actions, such as “change color” or “navigate to another page”. For our example, we’ll add a trigger of “on hover” and an action of “change color”.

Once you’ve added your interaction, you can test it by clicking on the “Preview” button in the top toolbar. This will open your prototype in a new window where you can interact with it. Hovering over our button should now change its color.

Adding Text

You can also add text to your micro interaction. To do this, click on the “Add text” icon in the toolbar and type your text into the canvas. You can then use the “Edit” panel to change the font, size, and other properties of your text.

Conclusion

Micro interactions are a great way to improve the user experience of your digital product. Figma is a powerful tool that makes it easy to design and prototype micro interactions. In this article, we’ve shown you how to create a micro interaction in Figma.
