Using Figma to design my microsite has gone very smoothly, if you ignore my mess of layers and the random slivers of empty space that like to appear and disappear along the edges of my project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
I enjoy Figma\u2019s practicality and simplicity. The web app feels like it was designed for web designers, by developers and web designers. It was easy to get started, which fooled me into thinking I could learn as I go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If I\u2019d invested some time in watching tutorials first, like Figma Tutorial: project organization that saves you hours of work<\/a> (7:40) by Flex Academy and Naming Things in Figma: My Best Tips and Tricks<\/a> (27:44)\u00a0 by joeyabanks, I would have organized my files more efficiently. I\u2019m still looking for a good way to organize my layers. If you have any tips, please share them in the comments below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve also started using Ditto Clipboard on my PC to store and organize the HTML codes and CSS rules I regularly use. Ditto looks like another deceptively simple app with a ton of potential. I learned my lesson and watched a few tutorials like More awesome Ditto clipboard manager features to increase your efficiency<\/a> (18:49) by Daniel Schroeder, before getting started. Now I just need to practice using it until it becomes muscle-memory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Using Figma to design my microsite has gone very smoothly, if you ignore my mess of layers and the random slivers of empty space that like to appear and disappear along the edges of my project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":94,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[240],"tags":[270,268,41,18],"class_list":["post-1955","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-aad-086-sp25","tag-clipboard","tag-figma-2","tag-midterm","tag-web-design"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/appliedartand.design\/lj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1955","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/appliedartand.design\/lj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/appliedartand.design\/lj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/appliedartand.design\/lj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/94"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/appliedartand.design\/lj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1955"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/appliedartand.design\/lj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1955\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1957,"href":"https:\/\/appliedartand.design\/lj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1955\/revisions\/1957"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/appliedartand.design\/lj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/appliedartand.design\/lj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1955"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/appliedartand.design\/lj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
