I worked in Desktop Publishing for 10 years. You just taught 3 years of in-production training in less than 18 minutes. This video is incredibly useful!

[spacecadet]

Im gonna have to watch this like 50 times on half speed.

This is another awesome video. Thank you! Have spent a fair amount of time in Photoshop and can 100% agree with the value of learning the hot keys. Thank you, Alek!

This is why you're THE BEST! 200k here we come.

Wow!! Super helpful. The type of video you watch straight through and then go back to pause and try to master (and remember) each part.

[AaronSefchick]

As always, much appreciated Alek. I keep waiting for those ads but another seamless watch. Thank you.

[brenondopp]

Value packed video Alek! Thanks for the awesome content you share with our community! Keep up the great work!

[andrewblackwell]

This was a really great video, thank you. I watched it then played it through again following along, stopping and starting while I worked it out. I've not used figma before as I mainly use Canva so some of the things took a little more work until I understood what you were doing but I got there in the end. A lot of these text effects can't be done in Canva (or at least I don't know how) and this has opened up so many new things for me to play with.

I am so glad I started watching your videos, like a week ago. This video is answering a lot of left over questions I had about using Figma. Thank you for explaining how this all works together step by step.

@alek thanks for this great video, when I try and get the distressed look to work the distressed layer is just disappearing and the coloured text is not being affected. any tips why this might be happening would be greatly appreciated! thanks in advanced!

[mycheezels]

holy moly that was a useful video, I’ll probs be watching and pausing that many times

66 Year Old Fart signed up for your course. Had to apply eye drops this morning due to eyes glazed over when I hit the Figma portion. I figure everyone starts at "0", right? It's hard, but I'm going to be one of your best students.

[supersaiyan]

Thanks for making it so simple. And also showing simple examples. These tips will help me out big time as my main problem when designing still is thinking too complicated. Also this figma software is so similar to affinity designer, crazy that i never heard of it.

[alaskahomesteading]

While I already know how to do this with the other programs in my arsenal, this is a great video, and because of your design video, I'm learning figma... Thanks man!!!

[madisonmasontv]

Alek, you're just the greatest, buddy. Personable, concise, cogent, and without the prevalent hucksterism and funnel hustle found in so many YT presenters. And all of your videos are so encouraging. Thanks for your high level of professionalism.

[hogiebb]

Thank u. I have been using Godaddy studio for a few years..and love it for its ease and intuitive platform, and phone and desktop app integration - but it has its limitations. So now I can try out figma when i want to get more sophisticated with Text.

[peterthompson]

Fantastic video. Thank you so much for your time explaining all of this

[oceane]

Thank you Alek for this incredible content that is so helpful. But, Is it possible to make a full tutorial about how to use Figma but a little bit more slow ? 😅Some parts oh this one are to fast me my beginners mind 😄

[kasunranga]

Thank you for delivering another great video packed with great value. 100% agree with learning the hotkeys, this is a game changer for any designer.

[RiyadJaamour]

really hope you would make a viedo about shopify POD, would be amazing to hear your input on the subject!
