Taste Test
After watching the sun rise ☀️ on my jog this morning, I was inspired to design this Financial Investment app exploration. A twitter tutorial by a designer named Benjamin also helped. I made this design on Figma and Animated it on Jitter. Which version do you prefer?

Motion does a lot in reducing the perceived wait time
didnt even think about it like that, yessss i agree
Beautiful work Ifeonu! The sunset gradient with those warm tones creates such a calming, trustworthy vibe - perfect for a financial app. Motion definitely adds life to it. The minimalist design approach is spot on for this category.
Thanks Stephanie! that's part of the vibe I was going for.
wonderful!
Motion, 100%.
It adds emotion and makes the whole thing feel more intentional, not just visually nice.
I have to agree Juan 😊
The sunset is really giving. Nice work
Thank you Omodasola!
wow! amazing design and definitely go with motion!
Thanks Gloria!
Both looks really clean and clear but the motion is really cool feature
Thank youuuu
Epic visuals
With Motion
Both are great, but I prefer the one with motion. The movement adds life to it.
Motion is so cool!

Hi Community!
So, I’ve been exploring Figma Make during the initial planning process in designing a website. It feels like a good tool to explore a rough idea in real-time.
I like it - being able to iterate so quickly.
🚀 A tip from me would be to add it to your exploration process - it definitely makes it more fun.
Has anyone else added this to their workflow yet? 🧠
Love how Contra's community is providing tangible insights!
What are the unwritten rules of good design?
Like everything, the labels and stickers that hide on the undersides and insides of our products have been considerately designed, often following strict brand and system rules.
I love systems, so typographic, grid-based design will always have a place in my heart. This is my small tribute to micrographics, each following the systems I've been seeing in the wild.
I'm a simple man: I see nice typo + microdesign = I press goat
Today, I've been playing with Figma Console MCP in @Figma
Just like the Framer MCP, it's such a great partner to have. I'll be using this a lot as a Design System builder and maintainer.

This is really interesting. Treating your design system as an API and connecting Claude directly to Figma for extraction and debugging sounds like it would save so much time on repetitive work. Going to have to give this a try for my own design system workflow.
