Today’s class was very fun. We went straight into Figma to replicate an email screen.

The task was to use the iconify plugin to recreate the email screen within a certain time frame. I enjoyed this exercise a lot. We had to replicate the 3 screenshots below.

This is what I managed to do. I wanted to replicate it to the best of my abilities hence

What I got from this lesson is that when it comes to replicating work al that matters is placement. The content doesn’t need to be the same; texts can be replaced with rectangles and images can be replaced with circles.

Reflection

This class was very fun despite it being breif. There was a lot that I learn from the exercise we did. After the exercise Ronan proceeded to show us some advanced Figma tools which made me panic a bit, he also showed us some previous work he had done and how he implemeted all the advanced Figma tools. This got me very eager to start a placement somewhere and broaden my horizon.
