    This is the best explanation of auto layout I have seen (and I'm pretty sure I've nearly watched all of them at this point 😵‍💫). Thank you!

    Awesome Figma tutorial as always! I really appreciate the great work you put into these. Though I did run into a little hiccup with the caption auto-layout (3:36) - the size wasn't adjusting automatically like I thought it would. But no worries, I figured out a fix! I just made the caption use auto-layout first, and then applied the auto-layout to the whole group with the icon and username. Problem solved! Thanks again for the super helpful tutorial.

    This is amazing video! One of the most high-quality and detail-oriented ones I've watch. I especially like how you discussed all the exceptions and showed examples. Those could be so frustrated at times.

    Best explanation on TH-cam by far. The fact that you've made the tutorial in the form of a use case is super helpful and keeps my brain interested. Many tutorials are just an explanation of tools that may or may not be related to one another without any specific reason you might use them. It's like taking that math class that you know you'll never use in daily life. Scenario learning/teaching and the flow of this tutorial was second-to-none. If you ever get tired of practicing UX/UI, consider becoming an exclusive educator or paid mentor. You're already great at it. 👍

    This was SOOOO helpful and easy to follow. I appreciate how you broke everything down in really clear manageable ways and it visually easy to follow as well. I did it along with you. I have to be hand on! I am really tryna master this in order to apply to a whole layout design AND make it responsive which is a WHOLE other beast :) I haven't looked at your other vids yet, but I would love to see you cover responsive layout :)

    Absolutely brilliant, I need to setup an hour just to do this, I will follow your tutorial to the letter. I appreciate the fact that you didn't get into any fonts or colors. You keep it very simple in black and white, others pollute the tutorials with styling and extras, you don't. Thanks!

    • @vtreanor
      @vtreanor ปีที่แล้ว

    Aliena, this is simply amazing! I wanted to tackle auto layout, and the videos I saw before were not very viewer friendly. But yours is just simple and straightforward. Will you be willing to share more Figma - tutorial/videos in the near future, even specifically tackle some edge cases? How do you keep up with the latest trends/industry standards in these tools? My greatest thanks to what I've learned from this video!

    @5:40 I tried to delete the amount of text in the paragraph while following your tutorial, but the layout did not adjust automatically. I fiddled with the settings and it turned out that text settings must be set to 'Auto Height' (not 'Fixed', which is the default), in order for this to work.

    I have a question off topic that I've been meaning to ask - where did you search for your contract roles? Was it job boards like LinkedIn, Indeed, or something else?

    • @AlienaCai

      Thank you! Regarding your question, I actually leverage my network for those roles. I suggest you to read the book “never eat alone”, this book forever changed my view on networking and have influenced me since then on getting opportunities through just - making friends.
