🚀 What I Did

• Playing cards.

🧠 What I Learned

Flexbox and Flexmodel

• Main axis – direction of items (set by flex-direction).
• Cross axis – perpendicular to the main axis.

flex-direction

Defines the direction of flex items:

• row → horizontal (default)
• row-reverse → horizontal reversed
• column → vertical
• column-reverse → vertical reversed

flex-wrap

Controls whether items wrap when space runs out:

• nowrap → no wrapping (default)
• wrap → moves items to a new line when needed
• wrap-reverse → wraps in reverse order

flex-flow: column wrap-reverse;

justify-content

Aligns items along the main axis:

• flex-start → start
• flex-end → end
• center → center
• space-between → equal space between items
• space-around → space around each item
• space-evenly → equal space between and around

align-items

Aligns items along the cross axis:

• flex-start → start of cross axis
• center → centered vertically/horizontally
• stretch → items stretch to fill space

Typography

• The art of arranging text to make it readable and visually appealing.

Font Properties

• Weight: Thickness (light, bold).
• Style: Italic or normal.
• Width: Condensed or expanded.

Text Anatomy

• Baseline: Line letters sit on.
• Cap Height: Height of uppercase letters.
• X-height: Height of lowercase letters.
• Ascenders/Descenders: Parts extending above or below main body.

Spacing

• Kerning: Space between pairs of letters.
• Tracking: Space across all letters.
• Leading: Space between lines of text.

Best Practices

• Use simple, readable fonts (2–3 max).
• Create hierarchy with font sizes.
• Avoid too many fonts for visual consistency.

font-family: Arial, "Times New Roman", sans-serif;

Accessibility Tree

A structure used by screen readers to interpret and interact with the content on a webpage.
