Figma educator demos

Join this beginner-level workshop to learn how to make icons, logos, and illustrations using Figma’s drawing tools.

Figma is much more than drawing rectangles and designing apps! It can be used to make scalable art and illustrations alone or with friends. In this workshop, we will cover the vector drawing tools in Figma to create icons, logos, and illustrations you can use for presentations, websites, social media, and to help build your portfolio.

Led by Figma’s Designer Advocate for Education Miguel 'Miggi' Cardona, this monthly demo is for students, educators, teachers, instructors, teaching assistants and those in the ed-tech space. See you there!

Making icons in Figma is easy, if you know the right tools to use! Join this workshop to learn how to make icons using Figma’s design capabilities.

Figma, at its core, is a vector tool that enables the creation of scalable forms and symbols using points and curves. In this workshop, we will explore various ways to leverage vector shapes, boolean operations, the pen tool, and more to create reusable icons. These skills can also be applied to producing graphics, illustrations, logos, and other designs that can be used across different platforms.
