Figma is a vector graphics editor and prototyping tool which is primarily web-based, with additional offline features enabled by the desktop application. It is free to use for individuals and teams of up to 3 people.
If you’re new to Figma, you may be wondering how to create a cover for your design. Here’s a quick guide to help you get started:
1. Choose a background color
First, open Figma and create a new file. Then, select the “Rectangle” tool from the left toolbar and click anywhere on the canvas to create a rectangle.
With the rectangle selected, open the “Fill” section from the right sidebar and choose a background color for your cover. We recommend a light color so that it’s easy to see the text on top.
2. Add your title
Next, select the “Text” tool from the left toolbar and click on the canvas to add some text. Type in your title and use the formatting options in the right sidebar to style it as you like.
3. Add your name or logo
If you want, you can also add your name or logo to the cover. To do this, select the “Image” tool from the left toolbar and upload an image from your computer. Once it’s added to the canvas, you can resize or move it as needed.
4. Save your cover
Once you’re happy with your cover, go to File > Export > Export As.. and choose PNG as the file format. Give your file a name and click “Export” to save it.
Conclusion
In Figma, creating covers is simple and easy using just a few tools. You can start by creating a new file then selecting a background color for your cover using the Rectangle tool.
After that, add text for your title using the Text tool then format it accordingly using the right sidebar. If you want, you can also add images such as your name or logo by selecting the Image tool then upload an image from your computer.
Lastly, once you’re done with everything, don’t forget to save your work by going to File > Export > Export As then selecting PNG as your file format before clicking on “Export”.
