Learn how to make your design come to life with prototyping and animation, with Smart Animate in this Figma tutorial! At last! ✨

This is the seventh and last video of my Figma series on the Google search experience, where I've committed to prototype a Google search from scratch with all of you here on YouTube. In this video, we'll be covering how to leverage everything we've learned across this series to prototype and animate a Google search in 30 minutes! 🚀

A flow is worth more than a thousand frames. Prototyping and animation are essential skills for designers looking to sparkle up their designs with interactive triggers and actions, without having to write a single line of code. I've tried to put as much thought into this video as possible, to give you a full view of how I personally animate my designs, for both personal and professional projects.
