During this lecture I learned that more and more, designers are being encouraged to begin their web designs with mobile first because it becomes difficult to make a large design for web and then scale it down so it is able to fit the mobile size. Another point I found interesting is how many websites nowadays are beginning to look similar to each other because of how web has evolved and how the viewer now uses the web, these changes end up causing designers to use a common interface pattern to suit the times.

The many type of design patterns include:

• The hamburger menu: a button made up of three horizontal lines, usually placed at the top of the page.
• Long/endless scroll: useful for not breaking up information and is better for storytelling.
• Card layout: condensed webpage with cards showing content to the user that can be clicked on to receive more information. This is a popular design most notably showcased in places such as Instagram and Pinterest.
• Responsive design: a design that moves with the size of the webpage.
