Use 5 hidden design features in Framer
Learn how to use 5 hidden design features in Framer. Today, you are looking at five killer design features in Framer you might’ve missed. You will use the canvas and layout controls to make the result fit the rest of your design system.
Lesson details
Use the hidden design controls covered in the lesson, including blending modes and other less visible properties, to solve a specific visual problem. Apply one feature at a time and inspect how it changes the selected layer within its current stacking and clipping context.
These controls work best as part of a deliberate composition. Compare the result against a simpler fill, opacity, or layout change, then test the effect on different backgrounds and breakpoints.
Resize continuously between breakpoints after the layout looks right at its starting width. Flexible sizing problems often appear between the desktop and mobile canvases rather than on either one.
