This week was chalk full of information that my little OCD mind found to be so fun! I’m not going to lie, it’s a lot. Oh, so useful though!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
I’ve experienced the whole adjustments with margins and padding to get things in a nice row or column, but then, you’re never guaranteed how a browser will distribute those measurements. In Safari, a box could be just a little off alignment with a photo, whereas in Firefox, it’s too short. That would drive me mad!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then I’ve tinkered with floating and though there are good uses for it – quite easier than margin and padding utilization -it can also get complicated when there’s an even easier way to organize things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flexbox is truly magic. We have done so much this week with all the conceptual ways it can be utilized. There’s obvious stuff to remember, but the really fun, cool, and different ways to place photos or a layout requires even more knowledge of Flexbox properties and capabilities. Its not something I can do immediately. Right now, I think I’m still trying to get the hang of it and the ways you have to tell it to do what you want. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I personally hope we get more time with Flexbox that require continued practice with when its appropriate to flex-start, and content-justify, and the small nuances and specifics of item placement using Flexbox. Practice makes perfect and I would love to be more familiar with Flexbox because I want to be using it a lot for design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Positioning is something else we learned this week. Whether it’s because we learned that early on in the week or whether because it’s easier to understand, I’m not sure, but somehow I believe that it makes sense and I’ve been able to get a decent grasp on how to use it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
