If you wanna make a sticker effect outline for your vector illustration. Use offset vector in @figma Draw. Here is how 👇#figmatip

You can right-click on a gradient fill in the gradient panel to redistribute gradient stops evenly in @figma.com Design. (This used to be triggered previously with a double click.) #FigmaTip

Looking forward to Schema by @figma.com Tuesday October 28. Who's joining? @discolu.bsky.social? @miggi.me? schema.figma.com

If you want to change the rotation origin on an object in @figma.com Design, select the object and press ⌥R (Alt R) to bring up the orientation point, and move it to a better spot for that perfect rotation point. #FigmaTip

In Figma Design, press control when right-clicking to see all of the objects / layers underneath your cursor to select objects out of view, behind other objects. Another reason to name your layers 🫣. #FigmaTip

Your Friday reminder that the pattern fill tool in Figma is an absolute bop. Select any source that you want to be a pattern, and it live updates, and control the pattern type, scaling, spacing, and orientation. #FigmaTip

More Figma Design / Draw features to support your visual workflow here from my recorded Monthly Workshop from last month: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDUK...

In @figma.com using shape builder tool to make a yin-yang symbol, fast. Select the objects and press M to use shape builder.

A simple way to get started with @figma.com Make. In this example, I go from bespoke digital clock design to working publishable site. I can even point click and prompt or adjust specific aspects of the output.

In @figma.com Design you can easily cut up a shape with a path using the shape builder tool, without moving over to draw! 🤯 Just draw the path you want to use to "Cut." Just select your object and path and press "M," and click your regions.

Beginning today we will be rolling out @figma.com Make to higher ed and bootcamp education teams. We will be requiring folks who have verified previously to reverify their education status to gain access. For more on new edu verification: youtube.com/watch?v=fy4f... www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwTI...

Made a beat maker and sampler with @figma Make. Will be sharing out soon bit of the process.

Made a lil @figma.com stencil using a mask layer to play around with the new scatter brushes (that dropped today!) in Figma Draw. (and a lil beat to go along with it on my OP-1 field).

In @figma.com Draw, you can now manually type in variable width stroke values, tab through variable width stroke nodes, and multi-select and edit them by holding shift when selecting.

Also! You can now also simplify your complex vector paths and reduce nodes with the newly added simplify vector tool in @figma.com Draw! I was super stoked to demo this on the Release Notes live stream!

Offset vector paths now available in @figma.com Draw. You can now take any flattened vector path and offset it to expand or retract it. It even lets you round out those sharp edges.

@darrin.bsky.team found this pic of you in my albums

My boy @miggi.me with the 📸 Doing portraits now 🤣😂

Learn to prototype experimentally with some of the new Figma Draw features like progressive blur, custom brushes, and texture effects: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTe9...

Made a lil illustration in @figma.com Draw with dynamic stroke and texture effects and text on a path. I dared to paste the SVG code into CodePen. This is what happened: Spoiler alert... It worked! @rog.ie Lauren Budorick @maxvoltar.be you super amazing brilliant beautiful people! This is delight!

Check out Kelly, Giorgio, and My talk on Grid in @figma.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9-d... on YouTube! Download the Grid playground here! Made by Figma Advocates: Laura, Chad and Myself: www.figma.com/community/fi...

Config 2025 Day 2✨ @miggi.me @mrhammn.bsky.social @jenyee.social @jhsilverman.bsky.social

Another fantastic #config2025 even got to meet one of my Figma heroes @miggi.me! Keep up the awesome work, and see you next year ✌🏻

Add and edit measurements and annotations in @figma.com with these shortcuts to speed up your workflow. Shift + M to enable the measurement tool, Esc to exit. Y to enable the annotation tool. Shift + Y enables and disables annotation visibility on the canvas. www.youtube.com/shorts/xPlJ7...

FigJam now has curved connectors! Diagrammers rejoice! LFG @figma.com ! 👏 Is it just me that is excited? Im pretty excited!

Gotta catch 'em all! Did I miss anyone? @figma.com @miggi.me #designsky go.bsky.app/EVxuLfx

We made it easier to pick accessible colors in @figma.com!

Just posted a new video "11 things that just make sense with Figma Slides" This includes demonstrations of many of the new features including components and slide numbers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rL2u...

Transformations Ink on paper #p5 #nextdraw #kaleidoscope

Check your color contrast for accessibility natively in @figma.com —rolling out over the next week or so. Find it in a color picker near you!👏👏👏 • Auto adjusts for graphics / text size and weight • Visualizes out of range options • Click indicator to get accessible recommendation.

Adding page numbers to @figma.com Slides! It is in the inserts menu (Shift + I). You can change format, set page numbers by row, and apply to all sides! let's go!!!

All hands on deck. Figma Slides is now available to everyone

Had a great time chatting with students and getting out of the house for the first time in a long time 😂. Thanks @figma.com and @miggi.me for having me!

Warmup: Reel to reel icon in @figma.com

Do you believe in life after lock? cc/ @figma.com

Hands down the best gift ever. @rog.ie made me an Advocate hat with our "Riggie" moniker on the side since everyone thinks we are the same person (we are not the same person). Thank you! I appreciate you! Thanks for being an inspiration and congrats on 5 years at @figma.com!

You now have more control over the appearance of your images in @figma.com exports. Choose from 'detailed' or 'basic' image resampling. The new default is detailed and references bicubic image resampling. Basic refers to nearest neighbor resampling and was the previous default in Figma.

I know who needs to hear this. (Its you!) Yes, @figma aspect ratio lock works on vector objects and groups.

Lock in! With this quick overview of new Aspect Ratio Lock in @figma.com www.youtube.com/shorts/SITkl...

A little behind the scenes of the @figma.com Aspect Ratio Lock announcement video. My cat kept causing delays while filming demanding that it be all about her.

Aspect Ratio: Locked. Rolling out today.

this haptic display absolutely rocks. basketball is for everyone.

It's here! Aspect Ratio Lock in Figma! 🎉 I’ve lost count of how many times I showed the hack around this, but guess what? We don’t need it anymore! 🙌. Thank you, @miggi.me, for posting this great update today! Followed your example with a YouTube video I made: youtu.be/8sTU7tZwWfo?...

You can now apply aspect ratio lock to your objects in @figma.com for better resizing. Apply it to the media inside your responsive components! Tip: hold control key to temporarily ignore ar lock when resizing an element. 🔒in, let's go!

To say I had a good time at @figma.com’s #Config2024 last yr is an absolute understatement. Great presentations and superb company. Trying to go back like 🫰🏾. Shout out @miggi.me !

Happy year of the snake!

While I was inspecting around in @figma.com Dev Mode I saw this nice little update where variable names now appear when they've been used in gradients!

If you find this set puzzling… that’s because it is. 🧩 When Figma needed a year-end gift for their team, a puzzle box made from their logo turned out as sweet as pineapple on pizza. 🍍🍕

Someone turned all of the Le Creuset dutch oven colors into Figma variables, because of course they did. In their defense though these are some very nice colors. www.figma.com/community/fi...
