Name:
Figma
Key features:
- A few seconds after the prompt is entered into a textbox, Figma mocks up an app with menu listings, a tab bar, and even buttons for delivery partners like Uber Eats and DoorDash.
- Recently announced a major UI redesign, new generative AI tools to help people more easily make projects, and built-in slideshow functionality (credit)
- Adding “AI-enhanced” asset search and auto-generated text in designs instead of generic Lorem ipsum placeholder text.
- A Tone feature lets you use AI to auto-rewrite slide text on two axes: “Concise” to “Expanded” and “Casual” to “Professional”, and can reword phrasing in a style such as “Executive,” “Technical,” or “Educational.” (credit)
Our take:
If you use Figma, use their new AI features.
Pros:
- Free full Figma plan for educators, including students!
- Simple-to-use interface, with aesthetically pleasing designs
- Quick turnaround time, especially for typically time-consuming interface design
Cons:
