Figma is a powerful design platform used by professional designers and creatives to create amazing visuals for websites, applications, and other projects. Adding illustrations to your designs in Figma can help bring your projects to life and make them more engaging. Here’s how you can add illustrations into your Figma designs.
Step 1: Choose an Illustration Style
The first step when adding illustrations to your Figma designs is to decide what style of illustration you would like to use. You can choose from a variety of styles such as flat design, sketchy, vector art, 3D illustrations, or even artwork created by a professional Illustrator. Depending on the project you are working on, different styles may be more appropriate than others.
Step 2: Find Illustrations
Once you have chosen the style of illustration that you would like to use in your Figma design, it’s time to start looking for illustrations that match the style. You can find illustrations online at sites such as Unsplash or Pexels. If you are looking for something more unique or specific, there are also many freelance Illustrators who offer their services online.
Step 3: Import the Illustration into Figma
Once you have found an illustration that matches the style of your design, it’s time to import it into Figma. To do this, open up the project in which you would like to add the illustration and go to File > Import > Image (or drag-and-drop the image).
Once imported, the image will appear on the canvas and be ready for editing.
Step 4: Edit & Style The Illustration
Once imported into Figma, you can now start editing and styling the illustration. You can use a variety of tools such as color adjustments and masking tools to adjust colors or hide parts of the image that don’t fit with your design. You can also add effects such as shadows or glows if desired.
