## Overview

Unlock the full potential of Figma with this 18-hour Figma Masterclass, combining our Figma Bootcamp and Advanced courses into one comprehensive program. Designed for Web, UX, and App Designers, Figma offers a modern, cloud-based design platform focused on user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design. Unlike traditional image editing tools like Photoshop, Figma allows you to create and prototype fully functional designs in one place.

In this class, you'll learn how to design layouts for mobile, tablet, and desktop websites, as well as app screens. Figma’s vector-based design tools make it easy to scale designs and export high-resolution graphics. You’ll master creating interactive prototypes that navigate across screens, trigger overlays, and add scrollable sections. Plus, you'll dive into Smart Animate for animations and explore advanced prototyping tools to make your designs more functional.

You'll also learn how to build flexible design systems using components, styles, and variables, all while collaborating seamlessly with others. Figma's cloud-based platform allows you to work from anywhere, no installation required, though a desktop app is available if preferred.

By the end of this course, you'll be equipped with the skills to create polished, interactive designs and prototypes, making you ready to tackle real-world design challenges.
