Create the card and container system: Figma Design for beginners [8 of 13]

In this video, we’ll use auto layout to build a responsive card element for our portfolio’s landing page. Then, we’ll revisit the elements we built in the previous lessons and apply auto layout to them to build a container system for our portfolio. Finally, we’ll wrap things up by turning all of the elements into reusable components.
