Figma

Gutes Tool zur Planung digitaler Produkte

Kommentare: Wird zu stark gehypet.

Vorteile:

Der Drag and Drop-Editor und die Möglichkeit, die eigenen Entwürfe mit Kolleginnen und Kunden zu teilen, ist hervorragend. Die Nutzung von Vorlagen wie Apple UI Kits, sonstigen Mockups oder Fonts (z.B. via Icomoon) funktioniert nach etwas Übung einfach. Auch komplexere Projekte sind abbildbar. Und man benötigt keine Creative Suite, um Figma zu nutzen.

Nachteile:

Das Pricing ist intransparent: Beim Jahresabo von Figma kommt noch ein Monatsabo von FigJam dazu. Leider lassen sich Screens nicht so einfach duplizieren und ausrichten, wie ich das in Adobe XD gewohnt war. Letzteres bleibt mein Website-Layout-Tool N°1.

Figma is a great tool specially for prototyping and designs management

Kommentare: I am using figma for prototyping and a little bit of graphics designing whenever i need to use it for.It helps me allot because i can create a prototype and then test it too using figma and i can test it for multiple devices so it is great

Vorteile:

I like the fact that development is very very easy in figma because the interactive metatrails available in there and mostly the plugins made my work allot easier and i have even developed my CV through figma cause i like my cv to be more iconic

Nachteile:

Everything else is very very smooth with me i am not disappointed at all but one thing that i think figma should improve is that the desktop version for windows is a bit slow at the startup. my laptop has a 16gb ram it looks good for it but still i feel a slowness at the start but for me it can be compromised and maybe there is not such an issue it is only with me

My honest Figma Review

Kommentare: My overall experience with Figma has been truly outstanding. I wholeheartedly recommend it not only as an ideal starting point for novice designers but also as a compelling choice for seasoned professionals considering a transition.

Vorteile:

Figma's pros include excellent collaboration and real-time editing, cross-platform compatibility, strong version history and prototyping, a wide range of plugins and integrations, and features like Auto Layout and Design Systems for efficient design processes.

Nachteile:

The downside to Figma is the lack of advanced prototyping tools for high-fidelity prototypes.

"It was a perfect tool until the latest updates"

Vorteile:

Functionality, easy navigation, interface, community, plugins

Nachteile:

Currently, I'm designing a website consisting of a relatively large number of pages compared to my previous projects. However, I've encountered an issue with the latest updates in Figma, the design tool I'm using. After the recent update, Figma started displaying the amount of memory being used, which has exceeded 77 %.Figma recommends deleting unnecessary files to optimise memory usage, but I have already ensured that there are no extra files in the project. It's frustrating to face these performance and memory issues even before completing the site.Consequently, I am compelled to consider alternative design tools since working on this project constantly battles productivity.It's disappointing that Figma is unable to handle the required number of files for a single project, and the proposed solution of splitting the project into multiple files seems impractical.I have been a user of Figma for several years, but the recent influx of new features and updates has significantly hindered the program's performance. This situation prompts me to question whether these improvements were necessary if they ultimately resulted in such a critical deterioration of the program itself.

Why Figma is far more better than other design softwares

Kommentare: Figma's intuitive interface makes it accessible for both beginners and experienced designers. The learning curve is relatively smooth, allowing users to quickly adapt to the platform. I'm glad I came across Figma in my learning stage as a product designer.

Vorteile:

Figma runs in a web browser, making it accessible across different operating systems without compromising performance. It's standout feature is also its robust real-time collaboration, allowing multiple users to work simultaneously on a project.

Nachteile:

I honestly don't see anything I dislike about Figma because I've used other design softwares and I can say that Figma is a life saver when it comes to UI and UX design.
