Presenting the Final Design
Key Concepts
- Preparing the Final Design
- Creating a Presentation
- Sharing the Design
- Gathering Final Feedback
1. Preparing the Final Design
Preparing the final design involves ensuring that all elements are polished and ready for presentation. This includes checking for alignment, consistency, and responsiveness across different devices. Use Figma's inspect tool to verify dimensions, spacing, and other details. Ensure that all components are up-to-date and that the design adheres to the established design system.
Imagine preparing the final design as staging a theater performance. Just as you would ensure that all props and costumes are in place, you ensure that all design elements are polished and ready for the audience.
2. Creating a Presentation
Creating a presentation in Figma involves organizing your design into a structured format that can be easily navigated. Use Figma's presentation mode to create slides that showcase different sections of your design. Add annotations and descriptions to explain key features and design decisions. Ensure that each slide tells a clear story and guides the audience through the design process.
Think of creating a presentation as writing a storybook. Each slide is a page in the book, and the annotations are the text that explains the visuals. Just as a storybook captivates its readers, a well-crafted presentation captivates its audience.
3. Sharing the Design
Sharing the design involves providing stakeholders with access to the final version. Use Figma's sharing options to generate a link that can be sent to clients or team members. Ensure that the link provides view-only access to maintain the integrity of the final design. You can also export the design as a PDF or image files for offline sharing.
Imagine sharing the design as distributing a movie ticket. Just as a movie ticket grants access to a film, a Figma link grants access to the final design. Ensure that the access is controlled to maintain the design's integrity.
4. Gathering Final Feedback
Gathering final feedback involves collecting comments and suggestions from stakeholders on the final design. Use Figma's comment feature to allow stakeholders to provide feedback directly on the design canvas. This ensures that all feedback is specific and actionable. Address each comment and make necessary adjustments to finalize the design.
Think of gathering final feedback as conducting a review session. Just as a review session generates insights and improvements, gathering final feedback generates actionable insights that help refine the design.
