How to make shapes with CSS

[@Mwtorres89]

This video is GOLD. Thank you, Kevin. We need these types of simplified videos more often.

[@anad6448]

You're such a great communicator! Thanks for breaking things down so nicely!

[@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunked]

You're* Yee ^_^

[@trungbuichi7864]

I was desparate of trying to create different shapes by border combine with transparent and then I found this. What a badass vid! Thanks a bunch!!

[@fuseteam]

"if you find this 6 months from now" me coming 2 years later: i wonder how good it is now

[@achalsankat7898]

Lol, I just thought the same buddy! XD

[@robertjustineduardo3395]

so.. is it? XD

[@fuseteam]

@@robertjustineduardo3395 appears pretty solid if we drop IE like a rock xD

[@naveenvenkateshk]

me seeing this for the first time 3 years after the video was posted.

[@HorizonHuntxr]

@@naveenvenkateshk same, I'm pretty sure browser support is now very good

[@WingedDestinyX]

I am an iOS dev and I just started getting into building websites again (love to do front-end work). Your videos are gold! Thanks a lot :D

[@timkimdesign]

display: grid; place-items: center; Ahhhhhhh, simple and easy. Thank you.

[@LaserTechNate]

Oh my god. Place-items? are you kidding me? how have I not seen that. There's gold information for css learners from beginning to end here. Ty. Subbed.

[@brandon5058]

you're literally the css god i have been looking for! my css skills have gone through the roof since I am doing the cssbattles with your videos. *THANKYOU!*

[@fpgroups]

It is like a magician revealing tricks of the trade! Nice work.

[@teppichkuchen8606]

Hello Kevin, thanks for that input! :) I have one hint for you: you can also centering things with "top: 50%; transform: translateY(-50%);". Its very useful and crossbrowser compatible. Keep up the good work!

[@KevinPowell]

For sure, I use that a lot! I do like that we don't have to with flex and grid, but as you mentioned, that has better browser support :)

[@dustinpoissant]

If im centering text in a fixed height container just use line-height: 100px and text-align: center

[@williampelletiervslol1949]

is .one a div? cause now im rlly confuse about the emojji and the fack tht you wrote place-item: center; and the circle goes right in the middle of the emojji

[@williampelletiervslol1949]

nvm tried something and it work

[@williampelletiervslol1949]

emojji is just a h1/6 lol

[@MarkOhanesian]

Kevin, this is one of the best CSS tutorials I've ever watched! Thank you so much.

[@abdessadekelaasri8862]

The best Teacher ever!! I have seen a lot of your videos and I don't think anyone loves CSS more than you do : )

[@typingmasterpro6762]

I have seen your lot of videos and this one is helped me a lot than others. Nice little work you have put in this video. Thanks, mate.

[@marvinschulze6152]

great video men! I haven't seen any video about css as good in the last month

[@ricardopassos1180]

I could feel what you felt when you used the calc function and everything worked as expected. In addition, your "strategy" in your last example gave me some insights on how to use the calc() function.

[@recursionError344]

Looked everywhere for a good explanation of polygon coordinates! Thank you :D

[@KevinPowell]

Glad that this helped you out!

[@01RobPwr]

Ha I was just thinking the other day “how the hell do I do different shapes” and was going to have a look this weekend and what pops up, your video! Perfect 🙂

[@KevinPowell]

Hah, that's awesome, glad my timing was so good Rob!

[@BasicMike]

A really fantastic explaination of how to make shapes with CSS. I hope you'll produce a more extensive explaination on what you can do with clip-path and the difference between clip-path and clip-rule.

[@blackpurple9163]

Please continue this series, doesn't matter if it's 5 minutes or 10 or 15, your choice, but bring these back

[@adanedhelbg]

Just binged a few videos of yours - awesome work, man. Can't wait to see more from you :)

[@KevinPowell]

So glad you're enjoying my content Kaloyan!

[@Harpagophytum67]

Thank you for your response on the other video. On this one speak to you much more calmly. Keep going, you're doing a good job.

[@Glow0110]

so many useful gems in this video

[@fuad7258]

Thank u so much for this video, love from Bangladesh 😍. Subscribe done!

[@incinerator7146]

just the perfect video i've been looking for ! your channel's amazing

[@pradipktimsina8695]

you are such a genius... love your work...

[@geralt9036]

11:14 thank you for that! That's all I needed for this video Thanks! You're the only dev that's helping me to get to know around

[@AlexGeekly]

Really like this one! Thanks 😀

[@siarotleahmae8180]

This is so great for a beginner like me Kevin.

[@VideoNOLA]

Makes me wonder how many front-end devs die of heart disease from never leaving the house. Let's face it: CSS is the ultimate game of "Simon Says" and you can waste days and weeks trying to get Function X to behave the way you intend.

[@christinejurewicz3057]

Just what I needed for something I ran into recently. Thank you!

[@KevinPowell]

Awesome, glad the timing was good Christine!

[@anishadhikari3690]

This channel is GEM. Thank you so much :) :)

[@jnoah7537]

I was looking all over for this type of CSS Tut! You sir are the best!!!! 👍🏽 Thanks a lot for the knowledge. I'm going to be trying this out to expand my css arsenal

[@XexusNH]

First time using code pen, that's a nice site. I added in a slow infinite animation and a transform rotate (100deg 80deg) to make the smile move back and forth. Silly, but fun :) I've been watching your videos for a few weeks now, makes me interested in web design again.

[@terrap0b_ps995]

Kevin is my go to guy for CSS always!

[@Melvin420x12]

Thanks for the video, loved it! It's so sad that we won't learn these kinds of things in the study I'm doing. ( Graphics Design ). It's all so incredibly basic stuff that you could learn in less than a month but spread in 3 years. Thanks to people like you I can step up my game without depending on my study and learn more than the basic properties!

[@KevinPowell]

Really glad that I've been able to help Melvin! In Graphic Design, how much of what you're studying is dealing with the web specifically?

[@RussDnB]

Very cool tips. Thank you Kevin :)

[@swatichoudhary1008]

You videos are really worthy.Learnt so much and still learning.Thank you

[@mosescodes3677]

Thank you kevin! we love your contents please keep up with good work

[@malangope]

Regarding the angle shape between the sections at the end, if you want IE support you could use borders instead. Something like this: .wedge { background: #5B5F97; border-width:0 0 10vw 100vw; border-style:solid; border-color:transparent #FF6B6C #FF6B6C transparent; }

[@thewisecoder4128]

Great work! You got my subscribe!

[@akashbond862]

I love your method of explaining things, thanks!!!

[@hossam_okasha]

I was lucky to find this channel!! thank you, Kevin.

[@KevinPowell]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@Fabian-_-]

Exactly what I searched for long! Thank you so much :D

[@airlobster2]

clip-path is awesome! I also discovered another cool thing: I needed to created a down-arrow shape which also needs to stretch vertically. obviously I used an arrow shape polygon. however, the arrow's triangle part looks horrible when stretched. So....here is what I've done: clip-path: polygon( 20% 0%, 80% 0%, 80% calc(100% - 15px), 100% calc(100% - 15px), 50% 100%, 0% calc(100% - 15px), 20% calc(100% - 15px) ); works like a charm!

[@jamesrosemary2932]

The use of calc() was clever ;)

[@chandrakant6283]

Absolutely amazing information. I find clip-path fascinating to use in my design, it's just the browser support that keeps me from abusing it to form complex shapes.

[@ahmmadawshaf]

Awesome content! keep it up!

[@VideoNOLA]

9:30 Worth noting (since I don't believe it's mentioned elsewhere on the Web, at least not explicitly) is that the clip-path rule seems not to permit percentages within the PATH() function, despite being acceptable elsewhere (CIRCLE(), POLYGON(), etc.). Hopefully this will change, because trying to alternate between the two formats (absolute and $) is a bit of a nightmare.

[@chamnil8666]

cool stuff.Thank you sir.

[@nevildst]

Awesome work, Kevin. Thanks for everything :)

[@captainzappa8561]

I know you know this but. Love your videos learning a lot thanks for the info #main{ position:absolute; left:10%; top:10%; width:40%; height:80%; background-color:orange; background-image:linear-gradient(45deg,black 50%, transparent 0), linear-gradient(-45deg,transparent 50%, rgb(60,60,60) 0); background-size:100% 100%, 100% 100%; background-position:50%,50%; }

[@SamuelRamirezTijuana]

I like You and I love what you do... so I'm becoming a Patron of yours. Hope more people show their admiration to your work and gratitude for you knowledge sharing by being patrons also. Keep it up Kevin.

[@KevinPowell]

Thanks so much Samuel! Very appreciated!

[@fhkodama]

Kevin, you are awesome! Congratulations on your incredible work and to being such a nice guy! :)

[@nathancornwell1455]

Firefox has a really awesome feature in their dev tools like their grid dev tools , where you can click on a clip-path icon and shows you all the points in your clip path and you can drag the points around to see different shapes ...

[@nathancornwell1455]

Also, you can actually double click anywhere on the perimeter of your shape and add in new points to alter the shape .

[@moizkhalid2714]

wow. Your Videos Are So Informative. Love your Videos.

[@syberiaok]

Super cool and well explained! Thanks!!

[@nellywasti3290]

Thank you so much for your way of teaching i really enjoy it .. Thank you

[@lloyd7miller]

click-path: polygon with calc and vw is sickkk 👌

[@KevinPowell]

Yeah, calc has so many awesome possibilities. Always fun finding cool stuff like this.

[@andrewt248]

I didn’t really look to see if this has been suggested yet, but you could do your normal layout and then wrap your clip-path-specific styles (including things like the negative margin) in an @supports (clip-path: polygon(0 0)) { block }.

[@KevinPowell]

Oh I like that :)

[@martalost]

Great video, your voice sees to be created to make educational videos, so good! I already used your tips this on my website and I love the effects. Thanks!

Thank you so much! Best channel on youtube!!

[@KevinPowell]

Thanks Nikhil!

[@vonshitz]

Hi Kevin, first of all thanks for all your great content. I'm learning so much from you! I recently found a video where i found a different way to make shapes using a chrome extension called shapes where you can manipulate images and copy paste the paramaters into your code. this works very nice with shape-outside and then pasting in the polygon paramaters.

[@miscany]

I learned so much in so little time, and I was not bored. I love your voice man (no homo of course).

[@betheprogrammer5359]

thanks kevin for unique shapes

[@colindante5164]

Thanks for the clippy tool website Kevin. It's nice to see you promoting your dream team *) Awesome))

[@marky_studio]

This what I am looking for 🤩😍😍

[@spaceghost7807]

Thanks man! I needed this!

[@grantphix]

Thanks for these wonderful videos.

[@NikolaZagorac]

There is a simpler way to put text in the vertical center, just set the line-height to the height of the container

[@KevinPowell]

As long as you have only one line of text :) - The problem with that is it's a 'magic number', meaning that number only works in that exact situation. That said, I have used it :)

[@jacquesduplessis6175]

Nice video, thanks!

[@evergreen7781]

That's awesome ♥️♥️♥️ Can you please make a video on making wavy templates using CSS3 & a detail about transform, z-index,skew & all...
