Creating a Figma Design System: Buttons, Links, Icons, and Images

Creating a Figma Design System: Buttons, Links, Icons, and Images

This is the last in our series of Figma design system tutorials! In it, we’ll be working on this minimalist portfolio WordPress theme:

This WordPress theme will eventually be coded, and you’ll be able to download it for free as well. 

As this design will eventually end up in the hands of a developer I wanted to create a design system for it; something which will help both of us. It will help me design new pages in the future, making sure everything is consistent, and it will also help the developer by creating an efficient coding process. The system contains all the colors, the typographic information, sizing and spacing, and more.

In this tutorial I’m going to show you how to develop several aspects of the design system, giving you an idea of how to implement your own: buttons, links, icons, and images. Let’s dig in!
