Hi and welcome back.
In this video, we'll explore another
valuable tool in the app development process called Figma.
We'll discuss what Figma is, why it's useful to have Figma knowledge when creating react native
applications, and how we'll be using Figma designs throughout this course.
So let's jump right in.
Figma is a collaborative design tool
that enables teams to create, share, and collaborate on designs in real time.
It provides a cloud-based platform where designers can create and prototype user
interfaces for various devices, including mobile applications.
Figma offers powerful features such as design components,
interactive prototyping, and design versioning,
making it a popular choice among designers and developers alike.
Now, you might be wondering why it's
useful to have Figma knowledge when working on react native applications.
Well, the ability to transform designs
into actual application is a crucial skill for developers.
By having Figma knowledge,
you can effectively bridge the gap between design and development,
ensuring that the final product matches the intended design and user experience.
This skill becomes extremely crucial when working in a company setting.
In advanced companies, developers often collaborate
with designers who provide designs in tools like Figma, Sketch or Adobe XD.
By being familiar with Figma, you can easily interpret and work
with provided designs, saving time and facilitating smooth
communication between designers and developers.
Furthermore, Figma has gained significant popularity in recent years due to its ease
of use, collaborative features, and platform compatibility.
It has become a goto choice for many
designers, which is why I chose to incorporate Figma designs in this course.
By working with Figma designs throughout
our lessons, you'll gain practical experience and knowledge in using design
tools to transfer the essence of the designs into real applications.
In this course,
we'll be using Figma designs to build our react native applications.
Whenever we start working on a new application, you'll see Figma designs
appear on my screen and in my videos, and I'll guide you through the process
of translating those designs into functional apps.
The Figma designs will be provided in the course resources as well,
giving you access to the same designs I used in the videos.
This hands-on approach allows you to practice working with design tools
and understand how to implement design concepts in your react native projects.
By following along and working with provided Figma designs,
you'll develop the skills necessary to effectively collaborate with designers
and create visually appealing and user friendly applications.
Now that you understand the significance of Figma and its role in our course,
let's dive into a quick tutorial in the next video about Figma.
By the end of that tutorial,
you'll be equipped with the necessary Figma skills to effectively work
with the provided designs and bring them to life in your react native projects.
Thanks so much for watching. See you in the next video.
