Hey guys, I hope you were waiting this week for this article, so I am here with something new to teach you guys about UX, Figma, and hard work.

I hope you’ll learn them as soon as possible from me to be better in design and more productive as a designer. So, without further delay, let’s start.

#1 Figma Tip: Use Thumbnails for Figma File

I use Figma for all my UX work, and I recently found out about a great feature of Figma, i.e., thumbnails. Before finding it, I spent so much time searching for my design file, because I had to read the titles of the files, but now I can just see the thumbnails and get an idea of what the file is all about.

How to Design Thumbnail?

If you don’t know, let me share a quick tutorial for you to make the thumbnail for any Figma file.

1. Create a Thumbnail

Your thumbnail size should be 1600 px by 960 px, which is the recommended size by Figma itself, which makes sure all your content in the design is visible.

2. Right Click and Select “Set as Thumbnail” and Done!!

After creating the design, you have to right-click and then select the Set as Thumbnail option. After clicking it, you’ll see a small thumbnail icon on the left side of your frame’s name, which means your work is done now.

#2 Laws of UX: Peak-End Rule

“People judge an experience largely based on how they felt at its peak and at its end, rather than the total sum or average of every moment of the experience.”

I learned about this law of UX this week, which basically tells that the user will remember only the start and end events. and I learned 3 tips to make sure you’re using it inside your design.

3 Ways to Implement Peak-End Rule

1. Pay close attention to the most intense points and the final moments (the “end”) of the user journey.
2. Identify the moments when your product is most helpful, valuable, or entertaining and design it to delight the end user.
3. Remember that people recall negative experiences more vividly than positive ones.

#3 Don’t Give Up!!

A Lesson from Bhagwat Geeta

While designing and working, I sometimes feel like giving up because sometimes work gets too frustrating and because I don’t earn as much as I work because I am a junior designer.

But every time I feel like giving up, I tell myself, "Don’t fu*king give it up, bro; just put in your work and you’ll be seeing the results in the future."

I learned about it this week from Bhagwat Geeta, where Krishna says, “You are only entitled to the action, never to its fruits.” Believe, and you’ll achieve anything.

Thanks for reading, guys. I hope you learned something from this article. I will be sharing more articles like these in the coming days. I will be more regular from now on, so don’t forget to follow me. see you soon.
