This works well for adjusting layouts for different screen sizes, but it falls short when you need components to adapt based on their container’s size.

One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.
