Figma is a great multipurpose tool. It is great for designing and creating, specifically websites or apps. Though, it is not limited to these. It is similar to a digital whiteboard. It is a great platform for brainstorming and getting your thoughts out. It has easy to use sticky notes, stickers, textboxes, and more. It is also super collaborative. Anyone on the shared file is able to edit and add to the project at the same time, similar to Google apps. There is a paid version as well as a free version, though I have never met anybody who ever needed the paid version to get their work done. I have used this app alot for my minor, Digital Studies. It is a great website for rough drafts. I will say that the FigJam feature (digital whiteboard) is super user friendly, but the Design File feature (app development) is a little trickier to figure out by yourself. Like all new things, it just takes some time to get used to, but I still think Figma is a really great tool.
This sounds like a really useful tool. It sounds similar to Jamboard, which is being discontinued, so this could be a great alternative for Jamboard users. I think this could be a really useful tool when working in a group setting like in a classroom.
ReplyDeleteI was just looking for a way to brainstorm on a screen. Figma sounds perfect for this. I love that it has so many colorful features and is easy enough to use.
ReplyDeleteFigma looks great for collaboration on big projects. It would help the most for online classes, when you can't meet your groups in person. I liked how you showed us your own personal examples and projects you worked on.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your video as well as your paragraphs. I love how this website isn't only good for work but it's also good for brainstorming as well. For people who aren't really good at designing (like me) but still wants a space to brainstorm and put your ideas down, this is a good website to use! Good job
