Alright, you made it in welcome.

Congratulations. You made a good choice.

Uh, the first thing you're gonna do is download the

exercise files for this course.

Okay. There'll be a link on this page to download those.

Inside of there will be a shortcut sheet.

Um, I'll go through them in the course,

but there'll be a sheet with them on there as well

where you can print off and circle the ones you really like

and add the ones that I've missed.

Stick it next to your computer. Look all awesome.

I speak fast, I think I speak fast.

Um, so you can slow me down.

There's a cog down in the corner here where you can click it

and set the speed that I talk at.

You can either put me in super slow drunk mode or UNK mode

or leave me like this up to you.

Figma is new-ish and just changing all the time.

They love to move things around.

So if, uh, the, you are in the course

and you're like, Hmm, this is not named the same,

but it looks the same, it's probably the same.

Or if it's moved, you might have to have a look around

to see where it's slightly gone or renamed.

Look in their comments. I might have left a comment.

If it's easy. If it's a big change, I'll go

and rerecord the course.

But there are changes all the time.

Figman like to do that to us.

Can you do this course with a free version?

You can for a bit. Um, a lot

of the course you can do on the free version.

That's no problem. There will be some paid,

um, parts that we'll look at.

So if you don't have that, you can just follow along

and you might end up deciding I need the paid version.

Um, but yes, it's not a waste of time doing this

with the free version of Figma.

Um, I'm gonna do mine on a Mac, uh,

with the downloaded software.

You can do it on PC in the browser.

It all looks and works the same.

Um, some of you will be coming on from the uh,

Figma Essentials course and some

of you will be jumping straight to this course

'cause you're ready for it.

The people coming on from the older course.

Well the older course, the first course,

the essentials course, you will find

that there's a tiny bit of overlap.

It's when we get to kind of trickier things

where we're gonna push it further.

Um, things like auto layouts, we'll just cover quickly

what an auto out does

and how it functions, which you've already done.

Okay. Just like a little recap

before we go off and push it even further.

So there's a couple of times we

were like, have we done this?

You've done a little bit of it, but we're gonna take it

further in this course and I want everyone

to be kinda like starting at the right

start, if you know what I mean.

Uh, in this course there's a couple of level ones

and level twos like auto allowed.

There's a level one, level two.

The reason I do it to break them up so that we don't go mad

and spending the whole chunk

of course looking at this one function.

Okay. Components or a variable or something. Okay.

So I've kind of done a level one where we do all the,

probably gonna use a lot type stuff.

We'll take a break, do some other things so

that we don't go crazy,

but also find bump into some reasons why.

Oh, this would be good if we could do more with

that earlier thing.

We learned. Surprise level two, um, where we go through it

and um, just kind of like expand on it.

So you see a few level ones and twos in this course.

That's what they're for there.

Just split them up so we're not doing grad board

with the same thing, but also so that we get a chance

to work with it and find the reason why we'd look

to go even further with these

Features. Lastly, uh,

you can follow me at Figma.

Okay, there's community. Go to figma.com/at BYL.

Okay, and you don't have to, but follow me there.

Uh, that's where I'll post

the finished files from this course.

Okay. If you're just starting, yeah,

there'll be the finished files on the course.

You can have poke around the things that I made.

It's not particularly organized,

but it's sometimes handy to see the files

that I've been working on.

And you can take a look at them too.

All right, that is it my friends. No more talking.

Let's get making. We'll see you in the next video, won't we?
