  2. Horizontal Grid:

    To get started, first select the 'Frame' tool. After that, choose 'Desktop 1440×1024' as your frame starting point.

    Select the frame, then navigate to the 'Layout Grid' section in the Properties Panel on the right-hand side. Click the '+' (plus) icon to create a new grid.

    To customize your grid, first select the layout grid settings.

    Change the 'Grid Item' dropdown to 'Columns'
    Set the 'Count' to 12
    Ensure the 'Type' is set to 'Stretch' for responsiveness
    Adjust the 'Margin' to 70
    Keep the 'Gutter' value at 20
    Vertical Grid:

    Select the frame, then navigate to the 'Layout Grid' section in the Properties Panel on the right-hand side. Click the '+' (plus) icon to create a new grid.

    Layer both grids to resemble the following:
    1000 rows (8px)
    12 columns (Auto)
    To customize your grid, first select the layout grid settings.

    Change the 'Grid Item' dropdown to 'Rows'
    Set the 'Count' to 1,000
    Change the 'Type' to 'Top'
    Change the 'Height' to either 4, 8, or 16
    Change the 'Gutter' value to 0
    Tips:

    Small Nudge and Big Nudge Settings:

    Press ⌘ + , to open the Preferences menu.
    Scroll to the bottom of the Preferences menu and select 'Nudge Amount'.
    This will navigate you to the 'Small Nudge' and 'Big Nudge' settings.
    Set 'Small Nudge' to 1.
    Set 'Big Nudge' to 8.
    Grid Visibility:

    Show Grid: ⌘ + G
    Hide Grid: ⌘ + G

  3. This is a great video, but I'm a little confused as to why the margin is set to 70 when 70 is not divisible by 8. Shouldn't the margin be 64 and the gutter 24? Even if you're designing in 4pt, shouldn't the margin be 68 and the gutter 20?

  4. I TA for a design boot camp a few night's a week, and I just wanted to send a massive "thank you!" your way. Our curriculum doesn't have nearly enough wiggle room to teach them how to work smarter in Figma. I took one look at my first cohort's design files and said "y'all need Mizko." Between sharing your content & the Figma playground files, I've watched the light bulb click on for so many students in real time. Thanks for doing what you do!

  5. For the latest Figma 2023, many things changed, i cannot copy the grid to another frame, the grid hotkeys also changed. Really this update disturbs my learning progress alot.

  6. Thanks for the video! Do you have a tutorial/lesson for how you came to the responsive grid values of 70 margin and 20 gutter? I'd like to know the methodology behind knowing which gutter+margin+column count values work best in conjunction when working on an 8pt grid.

  7. Thanks! I've been designing for a couple years but just doing very small projects for different companies. I haven't needed to use a grid but I do think this will help me and devs so much. Will probably have to change how I do auto layout though
