    grafician,

    Question on Figma: when you use it do you ONLY design in Figma, or do you start elsewhere?

    When I need to build a more complex prototype, I usually go from Sketch to InVision Studio.

    Is Figma solid enough to do all design work there? Is it as flexible as Sketch? Ideally, I want to explore Figma for my team in 2021, and the appeal of collaborating between XD, visual design, and editorial teams is really appealing. Can't do that in Sketch.

    We use Miro a lot for big virtual white boarding and can design wires together in there so quickly. It's just not a wire framing tool, lacks grids, all the features of something like Sketch. If Figma can be an experience much like the combo of Sketch and Miro, I'll be sold easily.

    • Yes.grafician
    • then again I can use any app to do the same thing, but yes, Figma is great for teams. Their community is also amazing, if not the best around an appgrafician
    • But I would go with Framer for solid prototyping, the web version is also freegrafician
    • never used invision, I think it's crapgrafician
    • but with Figma you can also bring onboard the non-designers, as it runs in browser and they don't need to install anything elsegrafician
    • no need for Keynote presentations either, you can do a presentation design, then share editing rights and they can go in and edit copy and it works, very simplegrafician
    • so yeah, the hype around Figma is very well deserved, haven't seen a better design app since Macromedia Fireworks...grafician
    • then again I can design apps even in Keynote, but that's just me lolgrafician
    • We use Miro for planning and initial ideation when multiple stakeholders are involved - seems easier for non-designers to digest. Any layout/page/componen...duckseason
    • ...designs are done within Figma. Similarly, prototyping and dev hand-off is handled in Figma. Spot illustrations, icons, scenes, patterns etc are still done...duckseason
    • ...in Illustrator.duckseason
    • We just transitioned off of the Sketch/InVision platforms after having used them, org wide, for the last 3.5 years or so.duckseason
    • you can design all those assets icons, illustrations, patterns still in Figma, no need for Ai anymoregrafician
    • Agreed. More about preference on that one for us - our brand designers/illustrato... are still on team Adobe.duckseason
