Summary

As you can see, Figma is a revolutionary design tool that allows many creators to take their workflow to the next level. It covers every need a designer could ever have. Therefore, it is equally perfect for individual workers as well as teams of small and large companies. Through this approach, Figma is gaining popularity among designers all over the world. Now you can become a part of this community, exchange experiences, and contribute to its growth. No other tool has achieved this level of user loyalty!

In this chapter, we learned about the ideology of Figma and its benefits over other tools. You also created an account and found out about Figma's plans and the difference between its desktop and web applications. Perhaps you even managed to switch from another tool! We also explored Figma's welcome screen, so now you know about some primary buttons and sections and what stands behind those.

In the next chapter, our journey will be even more exciting! We'll learn how to use FigJam in practice by structuring personas there and creating user flows for your first project in Figma!
