Motion Design with Figma: Animations, Motion Graphics, UX/UI

 The curriculum is very hands on. Daniel takes you step-by-step from start to finish to becoming a Motion Designer that can build your own beautiful, professional projects.
1. Introduction to Figma - Learn the different parts of Figma and what you will need to get started. We dive into the important details to get you up and running so there is no confusion.
2. Introduction to Figma Smart Animate - Figma’s Smart Animate is a game changer. You’ll learn how to modify all the different properties it supports and then put that knowledge to use as we build and explain some simple prototypes.
3. Project: Photo Inspiration Application - You’ll jump into your first project where you will take the provided resources and what you’ve already learned to create your own prototype of a photo inspiration mobile application.
4. Why is Motion so Important? You will learn how motion plays a major role in building usable products and how it helps create narrative and reinforces mental models.
5. Motion Design Principles - In this section, you will learn the principles of motion design and what makes them integral to the success of any design.
6. Creating Motion in Figma - Time to combine the theory and practical knowledge you’ve gained and jump right back into Figma to build some smaller prototypes. Daniel walks you through each exercise step-by-step.
7. The Motion Design Process - How does motion design fit into the “normal design process”? Don’t worry we got you covered. Daniel will explain his process for determining the right motion solutions for user needs.
8. Project: National Geographic Carousel - Learn how to create a simple and a complex version of a carousel effect in Figma.
9. Micro-interactions - Dig deeper into why micro-interactions are so important. You’ll then jump right into Figma to create your very own animation with Daniel using the Figmotion plugin.
10. Project: Smart Home Mobile Application - Smart home apps are becoming more and more popular. Learn how to design a simple home screen and then animate it using Figma. Follow along with Daniel as he explains how he created a complex temperature adjustment interaction.
11. Feedback -  Learn the proper way to facilitate and gather constructive feedback for your designs.
12. Project: Home Renovation Landing Page - Ever wanted to design a comprehensive landing page with animated elements? Here’s your chance. Follow along with Daniel as he takes you through the process of breaking down a landing page into multiple prototypes.
13. Project: Home Renovation Form - People often forget about forms but using motion to help your user through a very important task is key. Daniel will teach you how to apply some subtle animations to your form interactions which will help you create more usable products.
14. Project: Food Delivery Mobile Application - Learn how to create some flashy interactions with masking techniques and then follow along as Daniel explains how to create a complex order progress prototype.
15. Showcasing Your Prototypes - You have all these prototypes but how do you show them off in your portfolio? We’ll take you through several options for both Mac and Windows on how to record your prototype and export it to your preferred format
