Hi fellow Creatives! I've been teaching myself Figma, since it's been really taking off within the creative space. Besides just diving right in and watching videos, would any of you recommend a great course that dives deep into the fundamentals?

I think a personal project will teach you more than any video course once you know the basics. As you try to figure things out, you’ll need to look up topics that are interesting to you. Ex: how to use smart animate or auto layout.

The creative space is a pretty board term. What are your goals?

This is true! Primary goal is rolling out branding across digital platforms. My background is print heavy.

Why Figma over Sketch? Working on fortune 500 companies who are using sketch

PD1 Sketch has Smart Layout and Pinning. It’s actually slightly better than the way Figma does Auto Layout, but they both are really similar.
