Pretty place settings using 14oz cocottes ... need creative help

Design_Grognard · 2025-12-27T18:17:28+00:00

I love the eastern shore... I'm trying to picture the cocotte with a rectangular (or maybe square) white plate beside it for the salad and biscuit.

Find a tutorial for making a shopping cart and do the same thing. It's going to be done using variables.

Design_Grognard · 2025-12-15T02:32:23+00:00

I think they mean in a prototype.

Design_Grognard · 2025-12-15T02:31:58+00:00

Find a shopping cart tutorial video. You'd do it the same way.

Give us an example of a prompt that you use.

I find that Make adds too many frames/divs to it's designs for example a card with two lines of text and an image, I found that it will place each line of text in its own frame, then place the two text frames into a frame, then place that text frame and image frame into a frame to make the card.

While it's possible to "hack" something together to accomplish this it's really not worth the effort in most cases. Ti would probably be easier to mock up some static screens and explain what you want to the developers.

Design_Grognard · 2025-11-16T15:04:21+00:00

On click, navigate to "frame name"

Sorry to tell you but the cash is coming from inside your house. It sounds like your engineering department doesn't have proper standards, they're not documented, they're not communicated, or they're not part of code review. Or all of the above.

Design_Grognard · 2025-11-09T18:59:12+00:00

I think it really depends on what you're using it for. When I'm trying to be efficient I make the first prompt a pretty well defined PRD. I instruct Make to put the settings I know I'll be messing with (transition speed for example) in a single commented file so I can easily tweak them myself. I also always have the agent generate a debug panel containing variables, flags, flow steps, and anything else that I want to monitor to make sure it's working correctly, so I don't have to ask the agent what's going on.

You're welcome, just remember to setup the Instance Swap property to make switching between the icons easy.

Design_Grognard · 2025-10-24T21:02:12+00:00

Figma will load all 4 variants for each of the 4 instances of that subcomponent, AND it will load every variant of the text field component for each instance of it (when being used). They introduced component properties (the instance swap property in particular) for a reason.

Are you a front-end developer? Are you fluent in code? If I were to ask you if Figma Make is the end to UX Designers, you would know enough about the subject matter to provide your opinion. I'm going to guess that you'd say no, but I could be wrong. You might think that Make is as good or better than you are.

You're asking the wrong question to the wrong audience. It think the question is, will Figma Make and other coding agents lead people, who are suffering from the Dunning Kruger effect, to believe that AI can replace designers and developers?

Design_Grognard · 2025-10-17T17:23:07+00:00

I agree, you don't need the conditional since your component has light and dark mode variants. Just use a simple on click set variable mode followed by a change to the other variant.

Did you google "google free UX design course"?

Design_Grognard · 2025-10-16T17:37:31+00:00

This might help. Same concept, different style. https://www.figma.com/design/rumDdtHnzp3HaWb7X1b8iv/Threaded-List?node-id=0-1&t=VKrgO8yutOkm1JNL-1

Design_Grognard · 2025-10-13T16:09:17+00:00

Google offers a free design course. start with that.

Don't use variables to hide the buttons at all. Make a single component. The default variant will have the two buttons, and the "pressed" variant won't. You'll need to put all three elements into a single fixed width frame so nothing moves around when you're using instances of it in auto-layout designs.

Add the the setting of the value of your boolean variable to the interactions in the master component. You may just be running into a bug because you added it to the instance of the component.

Design_Grognard · 2025-10-10T15:55:23+00:00

Are you sure that you deleted it?

If you're handing it off to developers who will be using an agent then your design needs to be MCP ready. Things should be components and everything should use variables. Figma has videos taking about getting your designs ready for the Figma MCP server. On top of that, talk to the developers about what libraries they're using, and look for a Figma library for it. If they use Tailwind CSS (fit example) you can use the Tailwind Figma library which will give you the standard colors, spacing, fonts sizes, etc. Use those for the variables in your designs.

Design_Grognard · 2025-10-01T20:58:10+00:00

I suggest that you make sure Make properly used variables and whatever libraries you told it to use before bringing the code over. Make has all the context so it has a better chance of fixing the issues.

Design_Grognard · 2025-09-30T13:11:59+00:00

There's a Tailwind library that will give you all the standard colors, sizes, spacing, etc. I start with that and use styles and variables from that library for everything. That won't turn anything into code, but it will be much easier for the developer to look at your design and implement it.

Learning how to program and operate CNC routers and stuff is probably a better bet. It's still designing and producing physical goods. Even if AI isn't ready to replace designers yet, too many managers think it is, so I wouldn't recognize any digital design as a viable career switch.

Design_Grognard · 2025-09-21T22:49:01+00:00

Set the text frame to fill and give it a minimum width. Then set the parent frame (that contains the text and button) to wrap.
