Question 1

In Auto Layout, what does the 'Hug Contents' setting primarily control?

The frame's background color
The padding around elements
The frame's size based on its content
The stroke thickness of the frame

Explanation:

'Hug Contents' in Auto Layout makes the frame dynamically adjust its size to snugly fit the content within it, growing or shrinking as needed.

Question 2

Besides exporting entire design files, what is a specific way to share Styles with collaborators or developers in Figma?

By copying and pasting the CSS code of individual Styles.
By generating a style guide using a plugin like 'Design System Manager'.
By exporting Styles as a .FIGMA file that can be imported into code editors.
By publishing a 'Shared Library' and providing a link to access it.

Explanation:

Plugins like 'Design System Manager' in Figma allow you to generate comprehensive style guides that showcase your Styles, including color values, text properties, and even code snippets. This facilitates seamless handoff to developers, ensuring they implement the design accurately.

Question 3

Which plugin allows you to quickly populate your designs with realistic user data?

Unsplash
Content Reel
Auto Layout
Figmotion

Explanation:

Content Reel is a popular Figma plugin specifically designed for generating placeholder content like names, avatars, and other data, making designs appear more realistic.

Question 4

What's an effective way to document your Figma Design System for developers and other stakeholders?

Leave comments on components.
Use a separate documentation tool like Zeroheight or Storybook.
Create a separate Figma file for documentation.
Rely solely on component names.

Explanation:

While you can add some documentation within Figma, dedicated tools like Zeroheight or Storybook provide comprehensive platforms for showcasing components, usage guidelines, code snippets, and other essential information for your Design System.

Question 5

How can you directly incorporate Unsplash images into your Figma designs?

By copying and pasting image URLs
Using the Unsplash plugin
Through a Figma API integration
By downloading images and then importing them

Explanation:

The Unsplash plugin for Figma allows you to search and insert free stock photos directly from Unsplash into your designs without leaving Figma.

Question 6

How are overlays typically positioned in relation to the content they appear over in Figma prototypes?

They are placed on the same layer as the underlying content.
They are placed on a layer above the content and use absolute positioning.
They are grouped with the content they are related to.
They are placed on a separate page within the Figma file.

Explanation:

Overlays need to appear on top of other elements. Absolute positioning relative to the frame ensures they stay in the intended location regardless of the content below.

Question 7

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of using Layout Grids in Figma?

Ensuring consistent spacing between elements.
Creating complex animations and transitions.
Speeding up the design process with pre-defined structures.
Maintaining visual hierarchy and organization.

Explanation:

While Layout Grids are excellent for visual organization and consistency, they don't directly handle animations. Figma has separate features and tools dedicated to creating animations and transitions.

Question 8

How do Constraints in Figma behave when resizing a frame?

They lock the object's position, preventing any movement.
They dictate how an object resizes or repositions within its parent frame.
They automatically adjust the object's size to match the parent frame.
They disable any resizing options for the constrained object.

Explanation:

Constraints in Figma control how an object within a frame responds to changes in the frame's size. You can define how an object should stick to edges, maintain its position, or resize proportionally.

Question 9

What is the difference between a 'Color Style' and a 'Text Style' in Figma?

A 'Color Style' applies only to fill colors, while a 'Text Style' applies to stroke colors.
A 'Color Style' defines a single color, while a 'Text Style' can include multiple colors within a text layer.
A 'Color Style' defines a specific color value, while a 'Text Style' encompasses font properties, color, and other text formatting.
A 'Color Style' is used for branding elements, while a 'Text Style' is used for body text and headings.

Explanation:

In Figma, a 'Color Style' is solely dedicated to a single color value. Conversely, a 'Text Style' is a more comprehensive style that includes not just the text color, but also font family, size, line height, spacing, and other text-specific properties.

Question 10

When setting constraints in Figma, what does pinning an element's edges to its parent frame determine?

The element's fixed size
The element's position relative to the frame when resizing
The element's visibility on different screen sizes
The element's z-index within the layer hierarchy

Explanation:

Constraints in Figma control how an element maintains its position within its parent frame during resizing. Pinning edges ensures the element stays anchored to those sides.

Question 11

What Figma feature is essential for creating and managing reusable UI elements within a Design System?

Components
Prototyping
Plugins
Comments

Explanation:

Components are the backbone of Design Systems in Figma. They allow you to create reusable UI elements like buttons, icons, and input fields, ensuring consistency across your designs.

Question 12

Which resizing option in Figma would you use to ensure an image scales proportionally when its parent frame is resized?

Fixed width and height
Scale
Left and Right constraints only
Top and Bottom constraints only

Explanation:

Choosing the 'Scale' resizing option in Figma ensures that an element, such as an image, maintains its aspect ratio and scales proportionally as its parent frame is resized.

Question 13

What distinguishes a 'Team Library' from a regular 'Shared Library' in Figma?

A 'Team Library' can only be created and managed by the team owner, while anyone can create a 'Shared Library'.
A 'Team Library' is automatically shared with everyone in a Figma organization, while a 'Shared Library' needs to be shared explicitly.
A 'Team Library' only contains components, while a 'Shared Library' can contain both components and styles.
There is no difference between a 'Team Library' and a 'Shared Library' in Figma.

Explanation:

While both types share design assets, a key distinction is that 'Team Libraries' are automatically accessible to all members of a Figma organization, ensuring everyone has access to the latest assets. 'Shared Libraries', on the other hand, require explicit sharing with individuals or teams.

Question 14

Which Figma feature is essential for creating responsive designs that adapt to various screen sizes?

Components
Prototyping
Auto Layout
Plugins

Explanation:

Auto Layout in Figma allows you to define how elements resize and reposition automatically within a frame as its content changes or it's resized, making it crucial for responsive design.

Question 15

What is the primary purpose of branching in Figma?

To recover accidentally deleted files
To experiment with design changes in isolation
To create separate workspaces for different teams
To organize files by project milestones

Explanation:

Branching in Figma allows designers to create independent lines of work, making it safe to experiment with new ideas or make significant changes without affecting the main design file.
