Figma Weave: for Designers Who Don’t Want AI to Design
Thank you to Figma for sponsoring this video! Use code: WILLP20 at checkout for 20% off https://bit.ly/47LfBMi
In this video I show you how I use Figma Weave to create poster mockups straight from my Figma designs, then turn the whole workflow into a tool I can reuse inside Figma whenever I need it.
I’ll be honest, I don’t use AI to design our work. The posters in this video were all designed by hand in Figma for a made-up creative conference. But mockups? Placing your work on a tube station wall, in a village, on a snowy night? That’s the stuff I’m more than happy to hand over. AI doing the dishes, not the cooking.
You’ll see how to bring a Figma frame into Weave, set up a prompt with variables, use text and image iterators to create loads of different scenarios at once, send everything back into your Figma frames, and finally publish it as your own mockup tool so you never have to build it twice.
If there's anything you would like me to cover in a video, then let me know by commenting down below!
