An update on our decision to roll back the Figma AI Make Designs feature: After we learned about an issue with the underlying design system we made for it that resulted in some designs resembling existing apps, we temporarily disabled it to not only fix the issue but to review and understand what we could have done differently. Here is our retro: https://lnkd.in/gsz7T_j6

In what is now a tradition—we wanna give ya’ll a little peek behind what motivated the #Config2024 visual identity and all of the work and thought the Figma Brand Studio poured into our annual user conference. As we do with each installment, we find inspiration in the slate of features and new products we launch on the mainstage at Moscone. Given that we start ~10 months out, we veer towards conceptual metaphors and abstractions to avoid anything too overt or literal. With a refreshed UI, Figma Slides, and new AI features we homed in on what these updates might enable. ⊹✷˚ Starting early with motion * ✹+ Early on we knew motion would be important to uncover motifs that echoed this fluid and transformative way of working in Figma. We further identified the key actions we wanted to express: amplification, transformation, shifting perspectives, and activation. And while these started as motion principles, they ended up informing everything. ⊹✷˚ Supergraphics * ✹+ Of course, geometric shapes are a given within the Config and Figma brand. We really dug into this concept of using those transitional techniques to evolve humble, simple shapes into more complex, dynamic supergraphics. You also can’t just call them supergraphics and not go big with 70-foot wide murals. (thank you Barbara Stauffacher Solomon and Sol LeWitt) ⊹✷˚ Experiential * ✹+ Sculptural and functional installations activated different areas of Moscone, including a hanging constellation of 14 multi-color box kites, some as large as 17 feet! Collaborating closely with the our Events and Web Experience teams, we designed everything in a single Figma file. If you ever wanted to find Chelsea White, she was probably in the file. It's not a stretch to say crafting the Config brand is an exercise in UX design. By considering our audience, defining a scalable system, and collaborating closely across teams, we set out to create an event that embodied the dynamism and creativity of the Figma community. There’s honestly so much more, like the color palettes we managed using variables, the opening hype film that Relay Studio brought to life, and the incredible sound design from Sounds Like These. I encourage you to check out the deep dive the team wrote → https://lnkd.in/eQVffHGe Shoutout to the core studio team Jessica Svendsen, Chelsea White, Gustavo Delgado, Andy Luce, and Mika Kunisaki.

Today was a career highlight. It is an absolute privilege to introduce Figma Slides, Figma's newest product, to the world 💥 We launched Figma Slides this morning at Config, Figma's annual conference, after a year’s long effort to reimagine presentations and visual storytelling. Debuting this labor of love to thousands of designers during our opening keynote was a true pinch-me moment. I first pitched what we internally dubbed 'Flides' as an internal hackathon project in Fall 2022. What started as a scrappy prototype is now a tool that channels the power of Figma in a form that helps you tell your stories. Built for both professional designers and their collaborators in product, marketing, research, and beyond, Figma Slides enables anyone to craft a powerful story. Figma Slides is free to use while in beta! Try it out today 🎉 Thank you to the absolute dream team behind this product - it is an honor to work with you ❤️ Keeyen Yeo Alice Ching Karl Jiang Jonathan Kaufman Noah Finer Laura Pang Katie J.
