This course introduces Figma to graphic designers who already know identity design, but are new to Figma or still finding their footing in it. The aim is to learn to work the Figma way: building with components and flexible layout instead of fixed artboards, so design decisions become reusable rules instead of one-off choices.

That shift is what lets a visual identity flex across formats without breaking. The course is grounded in the CAA Method (Components → Assets → Applications), developed by Martin Lorenz. Every practical block starts from the same question a flexible identity has to answer: what stays constant, and what is allowed to change.

We open with theory before touching the software: what a visual identity is beyond the logo, when it earns the extra work of becoming a system, and what makes a set of matching pieces a system rather than just a kit. Only then do we move into Figma itself, starting from the basics of the file system and the interface, through its design and layout tools (including Figma Draw), and into components, variables, and styles as the encoding layer under a flexible identity.

Classes combine theory and practice in short blocks: a concept, then an exercise that applies it right away. Students work on one project through the whole course, adding a layer each class, so every new idea lands on work already done.
