1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:07,440 Icons are a really important part of any design system, we use them for a variety of things like forms, 2 00:00:07,650 --> 00:00:12,160 navigation buttons, they're used almost everywhere. 3 00:00:12,900 --> 00:00:15,540 Now there are a couple of sigma plug ins that you can use. 4 00:00:15,930 --> 00:00:20,910 And the main one I like to use is I kind of I also like to use material design plug in, which is really 5 00:00:20,910 --> 00:00:21,150 great. 6 00:00:21,900 --> 00:00:26,490 I've used it through some lessons and let's use it today to kind of put something together. 7 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:27,810 So let me show you how it works. 8 00:00:28,590 --> 00:00:30,380 So let's open our plug ins. 9 00:00:30,390 --> 00:00:34,830 Let's go into something like I Confi and this is our plug in here. 10 00:00:35,940 --> 00:00:40,300 And now you'll notice that there's different things we can do, we can actually search by sets, so 11 00:00:40,300 --> 00:00:47,310 we have like Google material icons, we have unicorns, we have all these different types of icons that 12 00:00:47,310 --> 00:00:49,530 we could use, which is really great. 13 00:00:50,100 --> 00:00:51,600 You can search something up over here. 14 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:57,630 So if, like, I search for something like home and press enter, I can filter by an icon site or I 15 00:00:57,630 --> 00:01:01,860 can see all of them and go through different of like a variety of icons here. 16 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:08,960 I typically use this just to grab icons very quickly, so if I need to, like, fill in a wireframe 17 00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:12,950 with some iconography or I'm just kind of testing some concepts, this is what I'll do. 18 00:01:12,950 --> 00:01:15,350 I'll just kind of grab this like that. 19 00:01:18,070 --> 00:01:20,170 And here I can kind of just. 20 00:01:21,260 --> 00:01:24,830 So anything I'd like to say, I would import the icon. 21 00:01:26,090 --> 00:01:31,790 And there we go again, update to the framed copy, I can work with the vector, I can name it whatever 22 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:32,390 I want. 23 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:40,360 Let's go through a little demo on how to kind of fill in the navigation, how to do that pretty easily 24 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:47,020 with something like I confi, I'm going to actually just create a new frame, click F actually, let's 25 00:01:47,020 --> 00:01:47,800 create a mobile frame. 26 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,820 So we're going to click off and we're going to just pick the iPhone again. 27 00:01:52,060 --> 00:01:58,750 And what we'll do is we will create another frame and we'll just sticky that to the bottom so we don't 28 00:01:58,750 --> 00:02:01,840 need to really worry too much about our size right now, at least. 29 00:02:02,260 --> 00:02:04,950 I just want to focus on getting some icons in here. 30 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,310 And we can actually create a grid in here. 31 00:02:09,950 --> 00:02:12,570 So we'll do that, will create a grid and sort of there. 32 00:02:12,770 --> 00:02:14,870 Well, we're actually going to set up some columns. 33 00:02:15,940 --> 00:02:18,850 So we're going to pick four icons. 34 00:02:20,140 --> 00:02:28,720 So we'll set for Cong's for those icons to sit within and we'll create a gutter of 16 pixels using 16 35 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,110 on mobile and four marginalises 16 and 24. 36 00:02:32,830 --> 00:02:34,020 So we'll just do that. 37 00:02:35,110 --> 00:02:35,770 And there we go. 38 00:02:36,230 --> 00:02:38,680 We can also make this nav really nice. 39 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:39,310 If we want. 40 00:02:39,310 --> 00:02:45,220 We can create a nice drop shadow behind it, set that bar to something like 30. 41 00:02:49,110 --> 00:02:50,440 Negative 10. 42 00:02:50,820 --> 00:02:52,440 And let's fill this. 43 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,670 That's a little too harsh for a dropshot. 44 00:02:55,740 --> 00:03:03,030 But there's a little more subtle so we can talk about our grades with control g just like that. 45 00:03:03,340 --> 00:03:06,330 So I'm just talking on and off now. 46 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,940 What I'm going to do next is I'm going to start thinking about what type of icons I want here. 47 00:03:10,950 --> 00:03:15,420 So if I'm thinking about a client habitual, I'm thinking about maybe I need like a home screen. 48 00:03:15,420 --> 00:03:15,780 So. 49 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,430 Well, first of all, what I really want to do is I want to make sure that I'm picking from a certain 50 00:03:20,430 --> 00:03:21,210 icon concept. 51 00:03:22,570 --> 00:03:26,160 So let's go all the way back to the beginning. 52 00:03:28,890 --> 00:03:32,490 And we can actually just select material design icons. 53 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:42,420 And if I search up just based off of that hairlessness like that. 54 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,650 I search for home and there you go. 55 00:03:47,860 --> 00:03:49,870 You can tell everything is part of the same family here. 56 00:03:49,900 --> 00:03:51,520 They even have rounded options as well. 57 00:03:51,980 --> 00:03:53,770 Let's just grab this icon. 58 00:03:53,770 --> 00:03:55,770 We can drag it into there. 59 00:03:56,050 --> 00:03:58,780 So we've got twenty four by twenty four pixel frame. 60 00:04:00,250 --> 00:04:07,090 We got the whole icon that sits within let's think of another option we could have we could have a heart. 61 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:17,760 So for like a wishlist section, so there we go, we have our heart, let's not move that outside of 62 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:18,810 the frame, let's keep that frame. 63 00:04:18,810 --> 00:04:19,530 It's going to help us. 64 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,240 Maybe another option is something like orders, but they don't have orders. 65 00:04:26,260 --> 00:04:28,690 We can kind of do something like this, like a list. 66 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,480 I like that I work for now. 67 00:04:38,270 --> 00:04:41,930 And the last one we can do is settings. 68 00:04:44,390 --> 00:04:48,230 So maybe a gear, yeah, that's going to work. 69 00:04:48,950 --> 00:04:51,140 OK, let's close this now. 70 00:04:51,140 --> 00:04:52,040 We have our icons. 71 00:04:53,490 --> 00:04:59,670 That's awesome, and we're going to drive them within that navigation frame, so let's rename this to 72 00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:00,350 navigation. 73 00:05:01,530 --> 00:05:07,950 Remember to always kind of name your frames, keep track of things, can get really messy, really easy. 74 00:05:09,310 --> 00:05:11,560 So we're going to do is I'm going to places in the middle. 75 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:19,040 Place this one in the middle, you see how they're kind of snapping together equal in terms of their 76 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,860 horizontal and vertical positioning. 77 00:05:22,670 --> 00:05:25,370 We can kind of go in there and just fix that a bit. 78 00:05:26,750 --> 00:05:29,210 What I'm going to do is I'm going to actually have some text as well. 79 00:05:29,210 --> 00:05:31,970 So that could also help in navigation. 80 00:05:31,970 --> 00:05:36,320 Just pairing an icon with some text that's a little too big. 81 00:05:36,770 --> 00:05:40,790 Something like 12 or even 10 doesn't need to be too big. 82 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:44,280 Great. 83 00:05:44,470 --> 00:05:45,280 I like that. 84 00:05:47,940 --> 00:05:49,500 We're just going to copy that over. 85 00:05:50,220 --> 00:05:52,170 Remember to set your constraints. 86 00:05:54,680 --> 00:06:00,320 Two left and right, so if we do happen to resize, this will stick with your actual columns. 87 00:06:00,810 --> 00:06:02,500 So let's do that over here as well. 88 00:06:04,610 --> 00:06:05,870 We'll call this one wish-List. 89 00:06:11,570 --> 00:06:15,820 We got some variation over here in the column, something we'll call this one orders. 90 00:06:18,150 --> 00:06:22,140 And this one, we are going to call settings. 91 00:06:26,980 --> 00:06:32,200 Now, what we're going to do is we're going to make sure that these are just a little bit above. 92 00:06:34,750 --> 00:06:40,120 The text, and if we actually select them all and we want to align them on the same horizontal grid 93 00:06:40,570 --> 00:06:43,090 or horizontal line will just go up here. 94 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:44,960 And that's perfect. 95 00:06:45,250 --> 00:06:48,280 So, listen, it is to make sure they are actually centered. 96 00:06:50,550 --> 00:06:53,100 Boom center to the text. 97 00:06:58,410 --> 00:07:05,220 We can actually turn off that grid now, I think, and there we go, we have our own little navigation 98 00:07:05,790 --> 00:07:06,750 and we can. 99 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:14,610 The overall capacity through pass through over here on this layer so we can turn them down to like something 100 00:07:14,610 --> 00:07:18,270 like 20 and so we can see that our home is active. 101 00:07:19,350 --> 00:07:23,700 Now, what we want to do here is we want to set this to center and center. 102 00:07:27,870 --> 00:07:29,970 These icons will all be said to center and center. 103 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:36,300 So if we do somehow want to make this like responsive and we want to scale and not have to worry about 104 00:07:36,300 --> 00:07:38,740 these icons, we'll have to. 105 00:07:39,140 --> 00:07:42,090 So let's zoom in here and show you what I mean. 106 00:07:43,100 --> 00:07:46,040 Oops, the overall frame I forgot about, that's most important. 107 00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:56,240 And you can see that they're not scaling, but they are staying centered to their own column. 108 00:07:56,270 --> 00:07:59,290 So if we turn that those columns on, you can see that they're going to stay within them. 109 00:08:00,310 --> 00:08:02,680 We won't necessarily do this on mobile a bunch at least. 110 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,060 But this is just a helpful tip for when you're actually working with your layers. 111 00:08:08,050 --> 00:08:15,010 If you don't want to use a plug in like that, you can actually go to the material design website and 112 00:08:15,010 --> 00:08:18,790 use their actual website to download those plug ins. 113 00:08:18,790 --> 00:08:22,840 Like users have much more control you'll be able to select based off if you want it to be outlined. 114 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,300 If you want it to be rounded, you can do all that. 115 00:08:25,810 --> 00:08:30,250 If you do really like Google material icons and you want to go through like confi, there's actually 116 00:08:30,250 --> 00:08:31,210 a plug in for that. 117 00:08:31,630 --> 00:08:33,610 This right here, material design icons. 118 00:08:33,610 --> 00:08:41,590 And here you have all the icons in every which style and you can use these to really help you pick just 119 00:08:41,590 --> 00:08:43,810 based off of material design icons. 120 00:08:44,500 --> 00:08:45,990 And it's the same kind of concept. 121 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:51,640 So you just select your icon and I'll drop it immediately into your Fatema file. 122 00:08:52,750 --> 00:08:56,020 And that's it for putting together a quick navigation with some plug ins.
