Figma: Changing Groups to Frames

Before I go any further, I should first differentiate between a group and a frame (click either group or frame to learn more) Group: a way of categorizing everything within a layer, groups take on combined dimensions of their children Frame: can function as a variety of things (masks, artboards, groups, stacks, etc.). The size of the frame is set by the designer.

UX Inspiration on Instagram

Lately, I have been trying to limit my time on social media. I have found the impact of social media distracts me from doing the hobbies I love. In an effort to decrease the ongoing irresistible temptation to click the small gradient camera icon on my phone, I have deleted its presence. However, in my time away, I have noticed one thing I miss is the UX inspiration (tips/tricks) I’ve found while mindlessly scrolling through my Instagram.

Neumorphism Figma Plugin

As you can tell, I have been on quite a neumorphism kick lately. I came across this plugin recently, and have enjoyed playing around with it. The plugin, neumorphism, makes it easier for the designer to select elements and easily apply shadow to create neumorphic effect. I have shared a few screenshots below incase you are interested in learning more. I really like the plugin, as it is super easy to use, and takes the hard work out of figuring out the shadow for different sized objects.
