Introduction to UX Design with Figma: From Ideation to Practice, a Workbook for Digital Product Creation

Introduction (What you will learn in this book)

This book is a workbook for learning the basic concepts and practices of UX design step by step through hands-on activities. It is intended for a wide variety of readers, including students who are just beginning to learn about UX design, designers who are working on their own projects, and planners and engineers involved in product development, who are in a position to deal with user experience.

The book is composed of the following chapters, which incorporate a good balance of classroom lectures and work, so that readers can experience a series of processes from problem identification, idea generation, and information design to UI design using Figma, a design tool, rather than simply preparing the appearance of UI.

CHAPTER 1 What is UI / UX Design?

CHAPTER 2 Process of UX Design

CHAPTER 3 Problem Discovery and Concept Creation

CHAPTER 4 Prototyping

CHAPTER 5 Basic Figma Operation

CHAPTER 6 Information design and wireframe production

CHAPTER 7 Completing UI Design

CHAPTER 8 UI Patterns and References

CHAPTER 9 UX Design in the Future

Background to the writing of this report

Today, when digital services have become commonplace, the skill to create a superior user experience (UX) has become essential not only for designers but also for all those involved in product development.

While we were keenly aware of the importance of UX in the course of providing development support to companies, we also felt the difficulty of communicating how to put this into practice. The turning point for me was a lecture on service design at a university, which I have been in charge of since 2024.

In pursuit of "how to convey the essence and joy of UX design" to students who had no experience in product development, our knowledge was sublimated into a more understandable and practical method in the form of a workbook. This book was completed by being refined by students' honest questions and reactions in the very arena of university teaching. The knowledge from the front lines of the field and the learning insights from the field of education have been condensed into this book.
