Part I: Exploring Crazy Ideas
Overview
Figma Wireframe Ideation Session
In this video, I take you through the process of refining a simple wireframe using Figma, building on our previous lesson.
We explore how to create interactive elements for a watch party feature and a customizable movie playlist, leveraging basic Figma shapes and tools. Throughout the video, I polish an initial wireframe, adding contrast and titles for clarity. I demonstrate the creation of a watch party interface where users can invite friends and start a movie session. Additionally, I introduce the concept of a movie playlist that users can follow, share, and track their progress on. These wireframes serve as practical exercises for utilizing Figma's features effectively.
