I have only attended the keynote address at Config2024 yesterday & I already have so much to say...The new Figma features I'm most excited about are: 1. Assets Panel revamped with UI kits from Google & Apple design systems. 2. Figma AI: Make connections automatically. Ability to do a visual search for icons you need by simply drawing them. Name layers automatically. 3. Redesigned UI. Brings your design work center stage. Resizable Properties Panel. 4. Updates to dev mode. I like how Figma never forgets about developers. They're important too. 5. Responsiveness of prototype view. 6. Figma Slides. The parting shot by Figma CEO Dylan Field spoke to me as well: You craft is your differentiator in a world of AI. (paraphrased) This is my first Config Conference & I can't wait to see more! #config2024 #figma #productdesign #uxdesign #sotwaredevelopment

Hey Everyone! how is your new year going. Of course, we all start with a resolution that's what I doing here to post daily. Let the design talk More. Here is the 2024 First post from me. Used: Figma, Prototyping🕹 Link :https://lnkd.in/gs7dtEZA Design is not only a world of Creatives and Problem Solving but also about getting suggestions to make it much better. yes, your suggestions are always welcome. #2024 #uidesign

Just finished watching Figma's product keynote at Config 2024 and couldn't be more hyped up to use all the new amazing features! Figma conquered my heart from the first minute I used it and now proved once again they know how to streamline their users' workflows. AI features are coming, yay! 🔎 Visual search for similar items 📚 Renaming layers (how did we live without it?) 🖼 Create an image/whole screen ✂ Remove background (no more searching for plugins!) 📲 Create prototypes (just wow) Figma is also launching Slides that is a natural response to what users have already been doing in it - but now we can take advantage of embedded prototypes, styles changed with just one click, smart animations, AI text improvements (how cool is it to be able to change the tone?). Right now many of these features look like pure magic as they eliminate so much manual work: just imagine how much time will be freed for the more strategic/important/pleasant tasks 🚀 This makes me remember the law formulated by Arthur C. Clarke: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Thanks for making magic the norm, Figma ✨ P.S. Which of the coming updates are you most looking forward to?

Exciting updates from #Config2024! Figma's new AI-powered features, redesigned UI, and enhanced Dev Mode are set to transform our design and development workflows. 🚀 #Figma #DesignInnovation #Config2024

Watching this teaser, I felt as if Figma was peering over my shoulders while I wrestled with those massive presentation files? Well, no more! This teaser shows the brand new Slides feature is incoming. Crafting stunning, impactful presentations entirely within Figma will be more fun! The word on the street is finally making its grand entrance- Figma AI. Just type in a design prompt, and watch Figma weave its magic, creating beautiful designs in a flash. This is HUGE! But let's be honest, it also sparks a million questions: how detailed will these designs be? Can Figma AI capture the human touch? There seems to be much more in store... One thing's for sure, Figma AI is guaranteed to set the design world buzzing with excitement.. and maybe a touch of nervous curiosity! There are also quite a lot apprehensions about AI features impacting Figma business later 🤔 - less designers, less licenses and so on.. But, can't wait to see what else Figma has in store. Let's discuss these potential features and all the other exciting announcements in the comments below! #Config24 #Figma #DesignRevolution #CantWait

They keep coming with more and more features. Figma is getting better and better. Excited to try out all of them! Figma slides? 👀 Flides!

Awesome updates from Figma

Figma's new features are exciting, But remember, it's just a tool. Relying solely on software won't secure your future in design. Master your craft, diversify your skills, and always be learning. The more tools you have—whether technical, people, or communication skills—the more valuable you'll be to your team and clients. In an era where AI can replace routine tasks, your adaptability and continuous growth are what will keep you relevant. Your role as a designer depends on it. #Config2024 #figma

As everybody is looking at the news from Figma I’d like to share some thoughts on this new AI features: Please leave the creative work for the people and address mechanic tasks instead, so we can focus on what is important - creating great human x machine interactions. I’m not interested in your pasteurized layouts that soon any pretender will be using to “create” fake work for their portfolios. We are seeing companies trying to substitute artists by Midjourney fake arts, soon enough it will be the time for UI designers to be replaced. Let’s not let the creative minds be exploited and put aside. Yes, AI can be great for things like processing huge amounts of data to help researchers to process feedback, or to look for mistakes in a codebase that otherwise would take several hours from a team, even identifying cancer cells in seconds, but using it to do the creative work will KILL our industry and our creatives. I’m not talking about this current version, but if Figma, Midjourney and others can so that now, imagine how it’s going to be in 5, 6 years? Figma what is your end goal with the AI features? Replace our entire community in a few years?

Did anyone watched (attend ) #Config2024's opening live? I'm so exicted about Figma Slides! It addresses so many pain points for designers during presentations, like: 🍇 What if I find a typo? 🍈 What if I want to quickly redesign a slide? 🍉 What if I need to shorten text? 🍊 What if I want team interaction with the prototype during my speech? 🍋 And much more! So excited for this new feature and can't wait to use it! Good job Figma Team! #uiux #config #config2024 #figma #figmaslides
