Figbruary 2023 Submissions (Figma Experiments)

Introduction

This was a daily Figma UI, Prototype and Illustration challenge I took part in, February 2023. The challenge's name is Figbruary organized and created by realvj on twitter(X). With my contributions and other community members' we came up with prompts for each day of the month of February.

I made submissions each day which helped sharpen my skills in UI, prototyping, animations and even illustrations solely in Figma. You can view the daily tweets of my submissions in this thread here.

I have made available the Figma file for all submissions here and also time-lapse videos of my process on my youtube playlist.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the submissions challenged me to be versatile and creative. Each submission was done after my regular 9-5 work so some were as quick as 30 minutes exercises while others took about 2 hours to complete, my speed has definitely improved due to the daily practices and also the new techniques I found. I am excited to bring all these experience gained from the challenge to my next project. 

Let's collaborate on a project 🚀
