If you wanna make a sticker effect outline for your vector illustration. Use offset vector in @figma Draw. Here is how 👇#figmatip

You can right-click on a gradient fill in the gradient panel to redistribute gradient stops evenly in @figma.com Design. (This used to be triggered previously with a double click.) #FigmaTip

If you want to change the rotation origin on an object in @figma.com Design, select the object and press ⌥R (Alt R) to bring up the orientation point, and move it to a better spot for that perfect rotation point. #FigmaTip

In Figma Design, press control when right-clicking to see all of the objects / layers underneath your cursor to select objects out of view, behind other objects. Another reason to name your layers 🫣. #FigmaTip

Your Friday reminder that the pattern fill tool in Figma is an absolute bop. Select any source that you want to be a pattern, and it live updates, and control the pattern type, scaling, spacing, and orientation. #FigmaTip

A simple way to get started with @figma.com Make. In this example, I go from bespoke digital clock design to working publishable site. I can even point click and prompt or adjust specific aspects of the output.

In @figma.com Design you can easily cut up a shape with a path using the shape builder tool, without moving over to draw! 🤯 Just draw the path you want to use to "Cut." Just select your object and path and press "M," and click your regions.

Also! You can now also simplify your complex vector paths and reduce nodes with the newly added simplify vector tool in @figma.com Draw! I was super stoked to demo this on the Release Notes live stream!

Made a lil illustration in @figma.com Draw with dynamic stroke and texture effects and text on a path. I dared to paste the SVG code into CodePen. This is what happened: Spoiler alert... It worked! @rog.ie Lauren Budorick @maxvoltar.be you super amazing brilliant beautiful people! This is delight!

Check your color contrast for accessibility natively in @figma.com —rolling out over the next week or so. Find it in a color picker near you!👏👏👏 • Auto adjusts for graphics / text size and weight • Visualizes out of range options • Click indicator to get accessible recommendation.

Hands down the best gift ever. @rog.ie made me an Advocate hat with our "Riggie" moniker on the side since everyone thinks we are the same person (we are not the same person). Thank you! I appreciate you! Thanks for being an inspiration and congrats on 5 years at @figma.com!

You now have more control over the appearance of your images in @figma.com exports. Choose from 'detailed' or 'basic' image resampling. The new default is detailed and references bicubic image resampling. Basic refers to nearest neighbor resampling and was the previous default in Figma.

A little behind the scenes of the @figma.com Aspect Ratio Lock announcement video. My cat kept causing delays while filming demanding that it be all about her.
