Yes, you can design a book in Figma. However, there are some things to keep in mind when doing so.

For starters, the dimensions of a book are much larger than those of a standard page on a website or even an A4 sheet of paper. This means that you’ll need to use the “Canvas” tool to resize your workspace accordingly.

When it comes to the actual design, you’ll need to take into account both the cover and the internal pages. For the cover, you’ll need to design for both the front and back, as well as the spine. For the internal pages, you’ll need to account for margins, gutters, and bleeds.

Fortunately, Figma has a number of helpful tools that make designing for print much easier than it would be in other software programs. For example, the ” bleed” tool allows you to easily add bleed margins to your pages.

In conclusion, yes – you can certainly design a book in Figma. Just keep in mind the unique challenges that come with designing for print!
