    Great! Why did you choose 80, 40, and 16 for spacing on this card? I mean is there a reference you follow to determine which values you will use for spacing in the various layouts or sections like Hero, Features, Sign up form, Newsletter, etc.?

      Thanks, I use the 4 PT system. In this case, I just used certain values for this component. so you can go 20, 32, 72. The values will be consistent

      So there are no references provide recommended values for spacing in the various sections in the page?

      You mean a resource on the 4pt system?

      @@ReadyDesignerOne I mean when a designer designs a web page he determines what specific values for paddings, margins, and gaps will be used within sections like Hero, Features, etc.
      So I am wondering if there are references that define the typical values for those spaces within the various sections on the page. Or maybe if you have a comprehensive spacing system that you apply for any project you work on.

      @salemmohammad2701 ah I see. I look at inspiration galleries and live websites. You can see the spacing they use. Godly.website is one I use. Then find a category you like and then you can take a screenshot paste in figma and try to replicate it. You will start to notice that they use a 4 point system. Such as the spacing between sections and elements like buttons. When you replicate lots of websites, you will build some muscle memory.

    Learned a new trick with the holding of the space so that the auto layout is not affected 👍.

    I looked over the figma file, and the spacing would be easy for a developer to implement it into code. Thanks for sharing.

      Your welcome. Have you tried variables? Another good way to store values in tokens.

    Cool, thanks for this! I would use the Absolute position feature for the spacing elements. You can still group/frame them after placing, it remains absolute. That way, each spacing element can still be part of the auto-layout group which I consider very handy. Also, thanks a lot for the "hold Space" tip! It even works when you're trying to move something big that's clipped in a frame and you don't want it to pop out!

    How do you determine which spacing to use in between elements? Is this initially established by just seeing roughly how it looks on a page and then matching it up to the spacing grid? Hope I'm making sense

    • @ReadyDesignerOne
      @ReadyDesignerOne  Рік тому

      Hi Rachael, yes you can do that. When you practise it enough, using the system, you will start to remember the values. You can experiment and develop your eye. If you struggle to decide, find some reference apps or sites that you like.

    Do we leave the remaining textboxes that we didn't component, also what are the extra text boxes(where we have the 16 spacings) for? Saw you didn't delete them but left them there.

    Which One is Better 8pt grid or 4pt grid?

    • @ReadyDesignerOne
      @ReadyDesignerOne  2 роки тому +2

      4pt grid will give you more options and fine detail. 8pt grid to start fast. So if you need more detail, go for 4pt. Tailwindcss use 4pt

    I'm confused, why are you not aligning the "text" on the baseline grid 8px? I noticed that the outline of your content is but not the actual text that should be aligned to the baseline.
