What is a wireframe in the context of UI/UX design?

A wireframe is a digital outline of a design, representing the big picture of an idea.

In Figma, what is the purpose of creating a frame?

Creating a frame in Figma is like taking out a piece of paper to draw on; it provides a dedicated space for your design.

How can you create a circle using the rectangle tool in Figma?

By adjusting the corner radius of a square rectangle to the maximum value.

Why is it recommended to use realistic text instead of lorem ipsum in a wireframe?

Using realistic text makes the wireframe more understandable and helps communicate the design idea more effectively.
