Preparing Wireframe UI Components

Creating wireframe UI components is a vital part of the design process, enabling you to establish a consistent and efficient workflow. This guide will walk you through the preparation of essential components in Figma, from buttons to navigation bars, ensuring that your wireframes are not only functional but also visually cohesive and ready for prototyping.

In this section, we’ll cover the following topics.

Understanding App UI Components

Before diving into wireframing, it’s essential to familiarize yourself with the key components of an app's user interface (UI). The UI is built from combinations of these components, and understanding these patterns will allow you to design and build your app’s UI and prototypes more efficiently.

Basic UI Elements

The foundation of any app UI design consists of these basic elements:

• Images
• Icons
• Text
• Shapes and Lines

Key Components

These basic elements combine to form the key components commonly used in app UI design:

• Buttons
• Input Forms
• Cards
• Status Bar
• Top Bar Navigation
• Sidebar Navigation
• Bottom Bar Navigation

As discussed in the previous chapter, Figma's Component feature allows you to create master components that can be reused throughout your design. By leveraging this feature, you can dramatically improve your design efficiency and maintain consistency across your project.
