Like Button Animation Prototype in Figma #shorts

Create Your Artboard: Start by creating an artboard in Figma to work on your prototype. You can select a common screen size, like 1920x1080 or 1366x768, depending on your needs. 1.Design the Like Button: Design the initial state of your "Like" button. You can create a simple heart-shaped icon or any other design you prefer. Make sure it's easily distinguishable as a "Like" button. 2.Duplicate the Button: Duplicate the "Like" button by copying and pasting it. You will need two versions of the button: one for the initial state and one for the clicked/liked state. 3.Edit the Liked State Button: Modify the duplicated button to represent the "liked" state. For instance, you can change the color to red or add an animation effect, like making it grow slightly when clicked. This will be the state that users see after clicking the button. 4.Create a Frame for Animation: Create a new frame that will contain both versions of the button. This frame will be the canvas for your animation. 5.Set Initial and Final Positions: Place the two button versions in the frame, with the initial state at the starting position and the "liked" state at the ending position. You can use Figma's layout grids or manual positioning to achieve the desired effect. 6.Create an Interaction: Select the initial state button and create an interaction. You can do this by selecting the button and then clicking on the "Prototype" tab in the right sidebar. Drag the arrow to the "liked" state button. 7.Set Trigger and Action: In the interaction settings, choose a trigger for the animation. Typically, you'd select "On Click" as the trigger. For the action, select "Smart Animate." 8.Adjust Easing and Duration: You can customize the easing and duration of the animation in the interaction settings. Experiment with different easing options and durations to make the animation feel smooth and responsive. 9.Preview the Prototype: Click the "Play" button in the top right corner to preview your prototype. You should be able to click the "Like" button, and it will animate to the "liked" state. 10.Fine-Tune and Repeat: Continue fine-tuning the animation and interactions until you're satisfied with the result. You can also add more details like a counter that increments when the button is liked. 11.Share and Gather Feedback: Once you're happy with your "Like" button animation prototype, you can share it with others for feedback or presentation. Use Figma's sharing features to do this.
