Maximize Figma''s arsenal of tools and plugins within a team-based collaborative environment and accelerate your company''s decision making. This book will show you where Figma fits into the user experience (UX) design process from documentation to developer handoff. Since its release as a browser-based design tool in 2016, Figma has fast become the de facto UX Design tool for the industry mainly due to its accessibility and ease of use. As you move through the book you will learn where Figma fits in the UX process. For example, using FigJam (an online whiteboard) for brainstorming, and creating interactive prototypes for mobile devices, tablets, and web sites. You''ll also see how Figma is used to create and integrate with design systems, and how variables, when applied to design system components, can accelerate the design and development workflow. With the help of step-by-step examples, and using Figma''s tools and templates, you''ll create artifacts such as Flow and Journey diagrams, Personas, and wireframes. From there you will explore other design and interactivity features, and how to prepare a Figma file for handoff to a development team. This book is your roadmap to utilizing Figma, the industry''s fastest growing collaborative design tool for building meaningful products. What You Will Learn Create interactive prototypesTest and submit designs for team reviewUnderstand the collaborative workflow involved in an UX projectPrepare common UX documentation Who This Book Is For Designers, developers, and UX specialists with little-to-no Figma experience who are looking to integrate it within their workflows, and intermediate Figma users who are just starting to become involved in the collaborative UX workflow.

Gain a thorough understanding of the two pillars of any User Experience project: the mission and the process. The mission is to keep the user in mind at each step or milestone as the developer progresses through the project. The process is how that mission is accomplished through collaboration and the use of research, design and development technologies. This book walks you through a developer''s journey through the UX process, from start to finish. A Guide to UX Design and Development concentrates on the intersection of what is called “DesignOps” and “DevOps.” That intersection is where collaboration between all members of the team, including stakeholders and clients, occurs and neither DesignOps nor DevOps can go beyond being considered just buzzwords if they instead silo design and development. To highlight the UX Mission and illustrate the responsibility developers also hold for the user experience, authors Tom Green and Joseph Labrecque take you through a hypothetical project involving the development of a parking app for a municipal parking authority. As the book progresses, they concentrate on the developer''s journey through the whole project from discovery to product release. In this journey, you will see how developers can make an impact and contribute to the user experience. This will include such topics as why there is a need for both a user journey map and a technical journey map. The authors explain why prototyping is not as complicated as it is made out to be because it is simply an early low-cost and disposable minimal viable product that gives the developer a deep understanding of the project''s intent in support of the UX Mission. You will also explore the creation and use of design systems and why the developer''s role is just as important as the people who create the design system. The role and responsibility of the developer in user testing is discussed in the context of a variety of testing and assessment methods conducted to achieve the UX mission. Finally, you’ll gain an understanding of how design and development deliverables are negotiated, prepared and sent out for research at each step of the process, and how the developer is involved. What You Will Learn Understand the evolving role of the developer in a team-based environment Learn the five stages of the UX process Discover the importance of collaboration and communication with stakeholders, designers, and developers at every stage of the process Learn a variety of design and development documents created during the UX process Who This Book Is For Developers and designers involved in the UX Process, as well as developers trying to make sense of the confusing amount of information out there regarding their role in the UX process.

In this small town, Carmichaels is the pool hall where top hustlers stop for a shot at quick cash. Sometimes they get lucky but not always. Tommy has the desire to be the best pool player he can be. At Carmichaels, he meets The Kid, who becomes his trainer and soul partner, always there in spirit to teach and guide him through the very toughest of games. Colombian drug lords have ties to this small town, too, but they underestimate the local alcoholics at Carmichaels, and after a pool game ends violently, war is declared. Danger brings about a new dream, as pool player Tommy seeks to make the best hashish on earth. His search for Punta Roja seeds, the legendary Colombian Red strain, takes him deep into the South American jungle and into direct conflict with the top drug cartel. Tommy has a ragtag group of fellow Carmichaels men to make his drug dreams reality. Frisk grew up in the fields of Colombia, has mysterious connections, and is dangerously deadly. Lenny knows where to grow large fields of Punta Roja, and Hunter knows how. Graham is one tough kid, but can he match skills with Frisk to become an unlikely hero? Together, these guys play pool, sell hashish, drink constantly, and continually find more ways to get in trouble and just keep on gong as if nothing had happened.

One Day, one dare and one ride changes everything. With the Vietnam war raging in 1967 and with the unacceptable loss of too many experienced special operations soldiers, nineteen-year-old Tom Green, born in a tack shed in a small Southern mill town, steps off the plane in Bien Hoi, Vietnam. Randomly chosen as a cherry to fill that loss, he begins the training to be a long range patrol (LRP) soldier. The journey from small town grocery boy to experienced LRP who survives this war creates a soldier who tragically witnesses the loss of best friends and the undeniable presence of God. In Silent Shadow 24 Tom recounts this incredible journey of bravery, loss, survival, and circumstance that lands him in one of the most dangerous jobs in Vietnam. Written as a tribute to all veterans, this story sets out to honor specifically draftees who served America with courage, honor, and an understanding of America''s mission to help others attain the freedom for which they often gave their lives.

User experience (UX) design is more than just pushing pixels and adding interactivity. It''s a people-centric practice that involves many stakeholders-not all of them professional designers. This course teaches the principles of user experience design from the perspective of a non-designer who needs to work with UX teams, studios, and projects. Instructor Tom Green explains the four-stage process of UX design, starting with user research-the stage where you build out personas, user scenarios, and user flows. Next, learn about UX conceptualization, where initial ideas are translated into sketches, wireframes, and paper prototypes. Tom then tackles the actual design process. In this phase, you can see how functional prototypes are generated, complete with imagery, copy, and basic interactivity. Plus, learn about the importance of testing your designs at multiple points in the process and incorporating feedback before handoff to developers.

Accordion folds are space-saving features that can hide content until the user clicks to reveal more. However, this popular design pattern still requires some customization, as the interaction designer needs to decide how and when sections-called "cards"-collapse or expand. In this course, you can experience the hands-on workflow of prototyping accordion folds with instructor Tom Green. Learn how to develop a static wireframe for the accordion fold pattern, make changes based on user testing and content, and add interactivity and animation-all with Adobe Experience Design (XD). Plus, learn how to achieve more granular control over the motion and easing of your animation by exporting your XD project to After Effects.
