Designing a Responsive Societal Application using Figma

Step 1: Create a New Figma Project

Open Figma and create a new file. Select the Frame Tool (F) and choose 'Phone - iPhone SE' or set width manually to

320px. This is your mobile-first canvas.

Step 2: Create Components and Styles

Build reusable components such as buttons, headers, and cards. Set up text styles (Title, Body, Caption) and color

styles (Primary, Background, Accent) for consistent design.

Step 3: Design the Mobile Layout

Start with the mobile layout. Arrange elements by content hierarchy. Ensure buttons and inputs are large enough for

touch interaction (minimum 48x48px).

Step 4: Use Viewport Resizing

Resize your frame to simulate tablet (768px) and desktop (1440px) widths. Check how the design adjusts to different

screen sizes.

Step 5: Apply Auto Layout

Auto Layout makes your components responsive. Use it for buttons, forms, nav bars, and cards so they adjust naturally

when resized.

Step 6: Set Constraints

Constraints allow elements to stick to left/right/top or bottom edges. Helps maintain layout structure on wider screens.

Step 7: Create Component Variants

Define multiple states for components: e.g., Normal, Hover, Disabled. This helps simulate real user interactions.

Step 8: Define Grid Systems

Use grids (4-column for mobile, 8-column for tablet, 12-column for desktop) to maintain alignment across screen sizes.

Step 9: Simulate Media Styles

Duplicate frames for each breakpoint. Change font sizes, margins, and visibility as needed using shared styles.

Step 10: Prototype Interactions

Link screens using Figma Prototype mode. Use Smart Animate for smooth transitions. Preview using the Present button.

Step 11: Collect User Feedback

Share your prototype link for feedback. Ask users about readability, usability, and layout clarity.

Step 12: Document Guidelines

Create a design system page with info on breakpoints, auto layout, spacing, and components. Keeps design consistent.
