Quality interface design should be holistic, consistent, coherent. Use of standard Figma Components allows you not to create each visualization element separately. This simplifies the work and saves time when designing the product.
Thanks to the Figma components, visual design has moved from the field of creativity to the area of technologies, principles and patterns. They make the finished product consistent – uniform in style.
Figmf components allow the designer to effortlessly make the interface of the site, mobile application consistent and the same across all pages.
How it works
Components are the “mosaic” of which interfaces are made up. There are not so many unique elements in them. There is no point in doing them every time again, just create component in Figma once and reuse it. Typical usage algorithm:
create a master component — the original, which is an example for everyone else;
copy it as child components (instances);
we use ready-made elements, we make the interface of the product from them.
To create a component in Figma, the designer needs to know well:
how to edit them;
what is required to build a multi-level component;
how to break a component into Figma;
how to remove a component in Figma.
The speed of work significantly increases the creation of the project, reduces the time for the execution of customer orders, increases revenues.
Advantages of the tool
The creation and use of components is not only a technical, but also a conceptual creative skill. It allows the designer to:
1. Achieve a consistent product design.
2. Speed up routine work by saving time on creating unique elements. It is necessary to understand what elements to make components and what properties of components (adjustments) to use in order to implement this.
3. Simplify the transfer of design into development, because developers reproduce components in code and also reuse them.
Conclusion
The tool makes it possible to work with the design as a constructor, which makes the work much more comfortable, quite systematic and saves time for working on functionality and convenience.
If you are interested in mastering the components at a professional level, we invite you to a practicum where you can learn all the nuances on consecutive tasks and under the supervision of an experienced mentor who will immediately tell you how to correct mistakes.
