The Problem
Designers usually design for one mobile and one desktop screen.
Developers then guess when layouts and typography should change, causing broken UI.

The Solution
I created a stress-based breakpoint system with responsive typography, so layouts adapt logically across screens. With proper research about the type scales, conversion units in Rems and Ems, using multiple web design resources.
To Design at some specific Size of Screens for Desktop, Tablet and Mobile
Desktop Screen - 1600px width
Tablet Screen - 834px width
Mobile Screen - 390px width
Modified Type Scales according Desktop, Tablet and Mobile Design.
Typography breaks before layouts, so I fixed typography first.
Desktop: hierarchy & scanning
Tablet: balanced density
Mobile: readability & wrapping



Layout Behavior Examples
Layouts change based on screen stress, not devices.
Hero Section
Desktop → side-by-side
Tablet → tighter spacing
Mobile → stacked
Card Section
Desktop → 3–4 columns
Tablet → 2 columns/ 1 column( when screen undergoes responsiveness )
Mobile → 1 column

Outcome
Better readability across screens
Fewer responsive bugs
Faster design-to-dev handoff
Result
Creating the Screen Ratios Adapt according to the above mentioned typography scale which behaves differently for mobile, tablet and desktop. We were able to adapt the designs seamlessly across, various screen sizes.

Using this Above Layouts with Figma Grid System, Developers seamlessly can integrate these layouts for testing of any created web projects.
