Let’s talk about Flex!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Oh boy. We finally made it to flexbox. For some reason, I never cared for the flexbox layout during AAD85. I thought, \u201cHeck, I can do this whole HTML and CSS thing without it\u201d. I don\u2019t know why <\/em>I hated flexbox so much. Though, it is most likely because learning flexbox involves change, and change is scary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

However, this time around, flexbox is somewhat of a blessing. I suppose it just makes sense now. It makes your life so much easier. I now catch myself thinking in terms of the flexbox layout. I see things on websites and say, \u201cI see what you did there\u201d. It\u2019s kind of refreshing. Now I just have to come to terms with this grid thing. I\u2019m sure the grid layout and I will become friends before I know it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from old (and new) tricks, I also reunited with my enemy: Adobe XD. There is only one thing on my mind when I design with Adobe XD. Why haven\u2019t they added scrubby zoom yet?<\/em> I refuse to believe that professionals are using this software happily without scrubby zoom. I mean, sure, there are the zoom shortcuts, but I want\u2014no I need<\/em>\u2014my scrubby zoom.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the petty grievances, I am happy with the design I created for my midterm project. It definitely ended up being a goofy subject, but I am proud of what I did. So far, I am open to creating my design in DW for the final project. But, I\u2019m sure the tides will change once I have another wild idea I feel like I need to solidify in code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
