How Hard Is It to Use Figma?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 12:55 am

Figma is a vector drawing and animation software that was released in 2012. It is available for free online and for purchase through the App Store.

The software has been designed to be used by professionals in the graphic design industry, but can be used by anyone with an interest in vector illustrations and animations. Figma is a relatively easy software to use, but there are a few things that you should know before you start using it.

When you first open Figma, you will see a blank canvas. To create your first vector illustration, you will need to click on the “Create New” button in the top left corner of the screen.

This will open up a new window where you can choose the size of your canvas and the background color. Once you have chosen your settings, click on the “Create” button and your new canvas will appear.

PRO TIP: Figma is a great design tool but it can be hard to use if you’re not familiar with it. Make sure to read the documentation and tutorials before using Figma.

Now that you have your blank canvas, it’s time to start drawing! To draw a shape, simply click on the “Shape” tool in the toolbar on the left side of the screen. Then, click and drag your mouse to create the shape that you want. You can also use the “Pen” tool to draw freeform shapes or lines.

To select a color for your shapes, click on the “Fill” color in the toolbar (it’s located next to the “Shape” tool). A color palette will appear where you can choose from a range of colors.

Once you have created your shapes, you can add text to them by clicking on the “Text” tool in the toolbar. Then, click on the shape that you want to add text to and type out your message.

To change the font or text size, simply select your text and use the options in the toolbar above your canvas. You can also change the alignment of your text by clicking on one of the alignment buttons in the toolbar (they’re located next to the “Text” tool).

Figma is a great tool for creating vector illustrations and animations. It’s easy to use and has a wide range of features that make it perfect for both professionals and hobbyists alike.
