31.1 Constraints

Constraints is a practical Figma skill used to move from rough structure toward a consistent, testable, developer-ready interface. The goal is to understand both the tool action and the design decision behind it.

Step by step

  1. Define the design purpose of Constraints.
  2. Create the smallest useful frame, component, token, prototype, or document needed for the task.
  3. Apply consistent naming and structure so another designer can understand the file.
  4. Test the result in the relevant frame size, interaction state, mode, or prototype.
  5. Document the important decision so developers or teammates know how it should behave.

10 practical examples

  1. Apply Constraints to a course website and explain the decision you made.
  2. Apply Constraints to a online store and explain the decision you made.
  3. Apply Constraints to a banking app and explain the decision you made.
  4. Apply Constraints to a school portal and explain the decision you made.
  5. Apply Constraints to a clinic booking system and explain the decision you made.
  6. Apply Constraints to a dashboard and explain the decision you made.
  7. Apply Constraints to a restaurant site and explain the decision you made.
  8. Apply Constraints to a mobile app and explain the decision you made.
  9. Apply Constraints to a creator site and explain the decision you made.
  10. Apply Constraints to a business landing page and explain the decision you made.

Hands-on example

FIGMA PRACTICE
1. Create a frame named: Constraints
2. Apply a clear layer/component naming system.
3. Build one default state and one alternate state.
4. Test at mobile and desktop sizes when relevant.
5. Add an annotation explaining the design decision.

Expected output

A clean Figma artifact demonstrating Constraints, organized well enough for another designer or developer to inspect and understand.

Common mistake: Using Constraints visually without consistent naming, reusable structure, realistic content, states, or developer handoff information.

Practice exercise

Create a fresh example for Constraints using a different product, screen, component, or content set. Explain what changed and why.

31.2 Auto Layout
