A design kit is a set of tools and resources that help designers create consistent, high-quality user interfaces. Figma’s design kits are free to use and come with everything you need to design for web, mobile, and tablet applications.
To use a design kit in Figma, first select the “Create New Frame” option from the File menu. This will open a new window where you can select the template for your project. Design kits are organized by platform, so make sure to select the correct one for your project. For example, if you’re designing a web application, select the “Web” kit.
Once you’ve selected the appropriate design kit, you’ll be presented with a number of different options for your project. The first option is to choose a layout. Figma offers a variety of different layouts to choose from, so make sure to select one that fits your project’s needs. For example, if you’re designing a landing page, you might want to choose a layout that includes a hero image and several sections for content.
After you’ve selected a layout, you can begin customizing it to fit your project’s needs. Figma offers a wide range of customization options, so you can change everything from colors and fonts to spacing and alignment. You can also add your own images and videos, or even upload entire pages from other Figma projects.
Once you’ve customized your layout, it’s time to add some content. Figma makes it easy to add text, images, and even interactive elements like buttons and form fields. You can also add comments and notes to specific elements on your page, which is great for collaboration with other team members.
Once you’ve added all of your content, it’s time to export your design. Figma offers a number of different export options, so you can choose the format that best fits your needs. You can export your design as an image (PNG or JPG), vector graphic (SVG), or even HTML code.
