An artboard in Figma is a designated workspace or canvas area where designers create and organize their designs. It acts as a container for design elements, allowing you to layout screens, pages, or components in a structured way.
Characteristics
– Can be resized to fit different device screens or custom dimensions
– Supports multiple artboards within a single file for organizing different parts of a project
– Helps in presenting designs in a clear, organized manner
– Facilitates prototyping by linking multiple artboards to simulate user flow
Examples
– Designing a mobile app screen on a 375 x 812 px artboard (iPhone X size)
– Creating multiple web page layouts side by side on separate artboards for a website redesign
– Using artboards to display different states of a button or component within a design system
