As front-end designers, we are using patterns over and over again – we are employing specific techniques to answer specific needs. But what we lack is a term, a name tag for those methods.

It’s simply like the Flying V of The Mighty Ducks!

So far, I’ve added Padding and Framing to my vocabulary.

Let’s try another one. Say for example, I need the following for my website’s header:

• Fixed-height header
• Responsive width
• The content of the header are all vertically-aligned in the middle
• If the content of the header exceeds the fixed height, then it will respond

What kind of solution does this need and what can we name the technique?
