When I figured out how to use Illustrator, all those years ago, it was a game changer. As in, now I felt I could finally play this graphic designer game and learn how to play it well. It was like my arms reached into the screen and became one with what I was doing to those pixels. Mind, hand, mouse, creation!
It’s been a long, long time since that feeling of excitement. It’s not that I’ve been let down by Illustrator in the years since, it’s just become common. And I tried to do everything I could in it; logos, posters, share graphics, infographics, websites… All of it!
But now, I have that feeling again.
Figma has delivered. It’s just so light and airy. Again, I feel I’m reaching into the screen, taking ideas from my head and manifesting them into pixels. It moves at the speed of thought. It jumps with me. It opens quick, it loads quick, it keeps pace. Click-click-click-GO!
And I can invite you to join in the speed of light. Collaboration in real time. Enough passing files around just waiting for something to get corrupted. Enough!
It’s just a design program. Yet another tool. More software. But my oh my does it hit. With Figma, I can feel not only the design but the possibility without the program itself getting in my way.
And for that, I say thank you.
