A. 全く知らなくても大丈夫です。Figmaは、UIデザインに必要なほぼすべての機能を備えています。Sketch、InVision、Zeplinを通じて達成できるすべてのことを、Figmaだけをしっかりと習得すれば行うことができます。つまり、UIデザイン、プロトタイピング、ハンドオフ(開発者のための最終成果物)など、すべての段階をFigmaを通じて踏みながらデザイン成果物を作ることができます。
Q. 非専攻者でも受講できますか?
A. はい、この授業は入門者と非専攻者に合わせて設計された科目です。UIデザインのための基礎知識からFigmaの基本機能、そして高度な知識と高度な機能まで一歩一歩お教えします。ですので、全くデザインとは無関係な仕事をしてきた方や非専攻者の方でも、この授業を受講すればUIデザインの専門能力を身につけることができます。
Q. 事前に受講すべき前提科目はありますか?
A. もしUX、UIデザインについて全く知らない方でしたら、私がInflearnに開設した「初心者のための、UXデザイン概論」の授業を事前に受講されることをお勧めします。この授業を受講すると、UXおよびUIデザイン全般の知識を身につけることができます。何よりも、このUIデザインの授業をなぜ受講すべきなのかをより深く理解できるでしょう。すでにUX、UIデザインに関する基本知識をお持ちでしたら、この授業を直接受講していただいても構いません。
I am a programmer who mainly works on web backend tasks. I took the course because I was curious about Figma, which is becoming a trend in the UX/UI design work area that can be considered the core of frontend work, and wanted to try it out.
After completing the course, I will write an honest review of my personal thoughts.
● What was disappointing
- It was a bit disappointing that the practical examples using Figma were only provided as mobile services. I thought it would have been better if there were practical examples for web services. Other than this, I didn't feel any shortcomings in the lecture content itself.
- There was one lecture that was too long, exceeding 30 minutes, so I thought it would have been better if it had been divided into 15-minute segments. In the case of online lectures, you have to follow the recorded lecture content and organize the parts you don't understand or want to listen to again, but it seems that it was a bit difficult to follow if one lecture was too long.
- It is a very rare occurrence in the entire lecture, but the parts where you stutter or stammer because you have difficulty speaking are quite distracting, so I wonder if those parts could have been edited out. If it were real-time, it would have been unavoidable, but I wish it had been possible if it were an Infraon lecture that plays recorded lectures.
● Good points
- First of all, the instructor overcame the frustration he experienced in the past through design and planning work, and is now in charge of and manages the entire product design process including UX/UI, so I think he understands the minds of beginners well and teaches them carefully and carefully. Good lectures come from the success stories of talented people, but from the perspective of a beginner, most good lectures come from experienced people who have experienced many twists and turns and overcome difficulties.
- Since the instructor has a calm and warm voice, you get the feeling that he is not teaching from the podium, but sitting in front of the computer with you and teaching right next to you. Since you are abroad, I may not have the opportunity to do so, but based on my experience, I thought it would be nice to work with such a calm and considerate person.
- In addition to his extensive knowledge of design itself, there were many instances in the lecture where I felt that the instructor himself enjoyed design work, so as a learner, I was able to receive that joyful energy and follow along happily.
- The lecture itself is well-organized with storytelling elements, so I think it naturally helps me learn and gives me strength to complete the course.
● Conclusion
- I personally do not feel that this lecture was a waste of money at all.
- I think it is a lecture worth more than its price for those who are hoping to enter the industry or are interested in it.
- Perhaps due to the popularity of Figma, good lectures, materials, and books for learning Figma will continue to be released in Korea in the future, but I think that Instructor Eric's Figma lecture will remain as a good guide for beginners.
Thank you for your hard work in the lecture. It was an honor to take such a great lecture that broadened my horizons as a backend programmer. I hope you stay healthy during these difficult times of Corona, and I hope your family is always healthy and happy. Thank you.

Jihoon, thank you for your sincere and detailed review. I will respond to some of your feedback.^^
Regarding regrets/improvement points:
I apologize for the inconvenience caused by the stuttering and repetition. Regarding this, we are currently working on improving the overall lecture video, especially the voice, by reflecting your feedback (for example, editing the parts where you stutter, and the parts where you say the same thing repeatedly). For reference, about 1/3 of the entire lecture will be updated soon. We will gradually update the rest. I think it is important for students to learn in a slightly more comfortable environment, and I would like to thank you again for your good feedback.
The parts where one chapter is over 30 minutes will also be included in the improvement work for the above lecture video.
I would also like to thank you for your good feedback on focusing on UI design for the web screen. I will use it as a reference for future lecture improvement and development^^
Good points and conclusion:
I am honored to be able to help you a little bit in getting started with Figma and doing UI design. I am so proud and grateful that you said that I will teach from a beginner's perspective. When I first created this lecture, there was a part that I made with that in mind, so I will keep that in mind once again and work hard to help from a beginner's perspective.
Thank you again for your sincere review. I hope you stay healthy and achieve all your future plans and goals.

About 50 percent of the lecture video improvements I mentioned above have been completed. The remaining parts are also being improved, and I will share them as they are updated^^
I am an IT junior planner. It was a good time to learn how current employees design UX.
The best part of the lecture was that it mostly taught me how to use Figma and emphasized the skills I use the most. After listening to the lecture, I became more confident in using the tool.
The part that I would like to see improved is the speech style. It was disappointing that there was little emphasis on the words and there were many pauses in the middle of the speech.
However, it was a good lecture that made up for the shortcomings.
One of my goals is to get a job in the US as a UX planner, so I will try to use Brunch and Instagram posts as role models.
I am glad that the part where I taught you frequently used skills was helpful. I felt my shortcomings in the part where I paused in the middle of speech and speech. I will use it as a reference to improve and develop the lecture. Thank you so much for the great feedback.
If you have any questions about the part where you aim to get a job in the US as a UX planner or if there is anything I can help you with, please contact me through 1:1 Open KakaoTalk. For your information, I am a native Korean who received education up to college in Korea and worked there before coming to the US for graduate school and getting a job. ^^
I have taken the "Introduction to UX Design for Beginners" course and am currently taking this course. As a non-major, I had a lot of difficulties when I first started, from the basic knowledge of UX design to how to handle the Figma tool and how to actually proceed with the design, but the detailed explanations were really helpful.
Punky94, thank you so much for your great feedback. When I was making this course, the people I thought about the most were beginners, including non-majors, and my goal was to help them get started with UI design and develop practical skills. I couldn't be more grateful if you found it helpful. I hope you achieve all your goals~!
Hello. I am a junior product designer. It was great to be able to learn the concepts and skills of Figma in a short period of time. (+Mindset and UX concepts as a bonus) Actually, I only knew how to use Adobe XD. However, when I was looking for a job, many places required Figma or Sketch. That's why I took this course! Thanks to this, I am now using Figma well in my work :)
I am grateful and happy that I could be of some help to you through this lecture, as you have acquired the skills and are now using them in your work. I will support you in achieving all that you want to do in the future~!
