As responsive design evolves, we have a critical need to think about design challenges beyond mobile, tablet, and desktop. When properly designed and planned, design patterns—small, reusable modules—help your responsive layout reach more devices (and people) than ever before. Ethan Marcotte shows you just how that’s done, focusing on responsive navigation systems, resizing and adapting images, managing advertising in a responsive context, and broader principles for designing more flexible, device-independent layouts.
Topics Covered
- Starting Small
- Navigation
- Images and Videos
- Responsive Advertising
- Designing the Infinite Grid

As practitioners, we have the opportunity to improve how we build for the web as well as how we perceive it. Thanks to equal amounts of eloquence and thoroughness, Ethan’s latest book encourages us to do both.
