    Backend developer here. It took me a few searches to find your video after realising that the abstract notion of layout is important, rather than how to write CSS and HTML. I wasn't interested in how to make layouts, but how to think of them, and this video fits that interest very well.
    I was vaguely aware that first and foremost a webpage flows from top to bottom (major axis, your first principle), and then secondarily from left to write (minor axis), but that was about it.
    The reference to Pinterest webpage building blocks is very useful.
    I'm saving this for future reference.

    i'm someone who severely struggle on focusing on something but your simple yet non-uniform(cutesy) styled graphic reeled me in very effectively. it simplifies the point to it's core with enough detail to distinguish itself from the others as it's own thing. it's been a long while since i've focused on something and i didn't left empty handed either. now i'm very interested in your content! :D

    3:07 - Pro tip: instead of using a plain grey like #f7f7f7, use a hint of Blue e.g. #f3f6f9
    You just need to remember “369”.
    The initial “F” stays the same, while the next number increments by “3”.
    So…
    036 = #f0f3f6
    369 = #f3f6f9
    58b = #f5f8fb

    • @76ers
      @76ers 6 місяців тому

      @@davidchavarriamendez9091sry, I skipped some colors in my previous comment just to keep it short.
      Anyways, after “9”, the values switch from Numbers to Letters as you move left to right from darkest, to lightest.
      0123456789ABCDEF
      0 = Darkest
      F = Lightest
      So if you start from “0”, and you increase the next number by “3”, you end up with these shades of blue:
      036 = #f0f3f6 (darkest)
      147 = #f1f4f7
      258 = #f2f5f8
      369 = #f3f6f9 (my favorite)
      47A = #f4f7fA
      58B = #f5f8fB
      69C = #f6f9fC
      7AD = #f7fAfD
      8BE = #f8fBfE
      9CF = #f9fCfF (lightest)
      Make sense?

    My experience with front end is limited to a few small projects, and few were public-facing or for business. Mostly in-house documentation for internal project team use. So now I'm working on something more genuinely front end, and find not sure how to think about designing. I can design a decent GUI for a desktop app using Qt, gtk or the like. That's not a transferable skill! What's a more productive way to think about architecting a few web pages? This video took me from zero to halfway a hero :)

    So are you suggesting to use a similar setup on all of your pages as we create on the homepage too section? Like if we used a background pic with a title section with text for top of homepage, you’re saying we should also use a background pic with text overplayed for the top section of all the pages for continuity, is that right? (Not a graphic designer so I’m cluelessly building my own site) thx.
