### Some Examples of Layout Patterns

## Mostly Fluid

The Mostly Fluid layout provides a dynamic grid with ample margins, smoothly adapting to the screen's width. It allows a continuous response to size changes, ensuring a visually pleasing experience across various devices and resolutions.

## Collumn Drop

This layout involves multiple columns that stack as the screen width decreases, condensing into a single column on devices with limited space. 
On desktop, it expands to occupy the full width of the available column.

## Layout Shifter

The Layout Shifter adjusts in distinct ways on large, medium, and small screens. It is more complex to implement due to the need for a specific design for each screen size, ensuring a consistent and optimized experience across various resolutions.

## Off Canvas

The Off-Canvas Layout consists of columns that hide certain sections as the device width decreases, allowing the user to efficiently switch between these diverse sections.

## Tiny Tweaks

The Tiny Tweaks layout is one of the simplest, making small adjustments to content and confining itself to a few elements in a single column. Its simplicity promotes a minimalist experience, ideal for emphasizing crucial information in a direct and effective manner.
