Weekly Roundup - Issue #17
I’m new to Figma and one of the things we are trying to figure out at Jiva is to understand how companies use Figma in their workflow. I’ve not found many articles about this and I’m learning by talking to friends. These two articles by the design agency Clay shows how they organize files and what deliverable they provide.
Kritika has been writing detailed guides complete with scripts and email templates. This is a great guide, if you are just getting started into doing remote research.
This essay by Aamna gives an insight into the workflow she follows when it comes to reading and can be a great guide if you are looking for tips on how you can improve your reading habit.
I’m gonna end this issue with this tweet poll from Brian Lovin. I was confronted by this innocent question when we were working on a web interface in 2020. Our web design systems team had not defined modals and our product was the first to use them so we had to figure it out. Additionally we needed to make it responsive. Designing for mobile had made me take a lot for granted. Creating this web interface had me question these foundational decisions that we were unconsciously making. And it probably wouldn’t have happened if the PM had not questioned design about our choices.
This extremely detailed article by Artem helped me understand my choices and make my final decision.
Seeya next time!
