Responsive Auto-Layout

Challenge

Design a card using Figma Auto-Layout so that it imitates responsive web functionality.

For the design, I looked for inspiration in booking platforms like Airbnb. I picked a location I've been (using my own photo), and threw some basic copy in as well as a few "features".

The order of steps I followed was crucial for working with Auto-Layout. In addition, some other nuances had to be accounted for to have this work properly.

  1. Create CTA button, Info Block, and Feature Tags

  2. Set each in its own auto-layout (putting tags into Wrap)​ (See 2a.)

  3. Set all 3 blocks into another auto-layout

  4. Create auto-layout and frame to encompass both image and 3-element layout block, add fill and corners and set to Wrap (See 4a.)

    • This kicks the design to landscape​

  5. Add minimum and maximum width individually to the image and block. (See 5a.)

    • The care here is so when collapsing the card, it has boundaries, exactly like a responsive web design​

  6. Drag back and forth and enjoy!​​
