Learning Web Design
Element Boxes
One thing I have learned that important were the ways to define element boxes. Specifically, specifying "box-sizing." I found that being able to differenciate the "content-box" or the "border-box." I found that the differences in these two could apply to a variety of designs and website compositions.
I feel like working with both would have myself keep in mind alignment and how each box and content relate to each other on the page. Hopefully I am not prone to mixing the two up and messing up compositions through that.
Picture-Perfect Borders
I also found that being able to apply an image to a border of a box useful. It seems like it would be fun to use for more ornate and intricuate designs. I do find that level of customizability enjoyable, so I look forward to using it.
I do have to wonder about how this would affect loading time, since this would involve loading an image, figuring out how to lay those images on a box, and applying when necessary. I enjoy a lot of detail (when done correctly) when it comes to website designs, but I would not want to compromise loading time for the sake of aesthetics.
