  • Hi, I'm Joey! I'm a product designer at Twitter, working on design systems, who used to work at Figma as a Designer Advocate. Today I wanted to share a tutorial for how to make the most with naming conventions in Figma, to help you work quickly and efficiently.

    i hope you will continue with the series, i absolutely love the way you present and the content itself!
    i'd like to hear your thoughts on the overall hierarchy of the components in the design system and if there is a way to keep the number of variants and components low without troubles for designers and developers.

    Joey, you are an impressive instructor and an inspiration to Figma beginners! I caught myself thinking, he's so fast, so good, I can't follow this but it's so interesting. Then, I realized that I was following just fine. I think you have a secret power of demonstrating a very good attitude and that is the trick. It makes a person wish for life to be very good to you and for you to continue offering your fluency! Thanks!

    Great video, I had no idea the bulk rename feature existed!
    In regards to instance swapping, you could just use the variants feature. That way, you can change individual properties related to that specific feature, as opposed to going through an entire variants list. For example you could create properties that control the number of buttons, light or dark theme, and which button is selected. This way, you can tidy up your components panel and only have one instead of 10.

    This can go one step further in simplification by combining the comps as Variants. That will reduce the comps here by 3x.

    Hi Joey, thanks for the vidéo! great tips. I'm curious to know if you have any advice / conventions on how to name nested frames inside a design. I'm trying to match my front-end developers' naming conventions, but with auto-layout, I have a LOT of frames. This quickly gets very messy. Any tips on that? Thanks!

  • @prajwalsharma2794
    @prajwalsharma2794 2 года назад

    I have a question: for example we have a frame lets say frame 3, inside frame 3 is a shape ellipse 2. When we duplicate frame 3, we get frame 4 with the same ellipse 2. Should we change name of ellipse 2 inside frame 4 to ellipse 3(or any other name) or keep the name same as in frame 3 ie ellipse 2. Won't it create any problem in future for dev handoff or any other problem?

    Hi Joey, nice explanation! Thanks tons! Would you kindly post a video about how much of a Figma community duplicate file we should change in order to make it look original i.e. ours rather than a copy paste (definitely considering the license and say it says you can change it completely and publish freely). You may mention "start with typography, colors, etc." What would be your tips and tricks in working with Figma community files. Thanks in advance.

    Good video, but tooo much explaining... i guess it's for the total newbies. I genuinely thought that you will explain layer naming hierarchy or best practices and not basics.
    But video is good, there's still something useful for "not newbies".
