Any time I chat with a fellow web person and CSS-Tricks comes up in conversation, there is a good chance they’ll say: oh yeah, that guide on CSS flexbox, I use that all the time!
Indeed that page, and it’s cousin the CSS grid guide, are among our top trafficked pages. I try to take extra care with them making sure the information on them is current, useful, and the page loads speedily and properly. A while back, in a round of updates I was doing on the guides, I reached out to Lynn Fisher, who always does incredible work on everything, to see if she’d be up for re-doing the illustrations on the guides. Miraculously, she agreed, and we have the much more charismatic illustrations that live on the guides today.
In a second miracle, I asked Lynn again if she’d be up for making physical paper poster designs of the guides, and see agreed again!
Sorry! The physical posters are no longer for sale, but on the guides themselves, you can download digital copies to print yourself if you like.
Here they are:


You better believe I have it right next to me in my office:

Were the posters designed and printed in flexbox?
I’m somewhat struggling with that now.
Nice! Ordered both.
Much appreciated, Matt.
I ordered to support what you’re doing for a community Chris.
Is there any way one could print the posters themself?
Uhm. I dunno maybe. At the moment I’m not that compelled to make the high-res artwork available for free download, otherwise, like everything else on this site, I imagine it will get scraped and other on-demand printing stores will start offering it. If you want to buy one and then scan it yourself somehow and print your own scan, that would be a way.
Oh, I’m sorry for beeing unclear. I’d print a licencing fee for allowing me to print it myself. This way I don’t have to wait for the shipping and don’t have to pay for it as well.
Is it possible to buy a PDFs instead? Would like to print them as A3.
“They are $25 each which includes shipping anywhere in the world.”
If I choose to ship to Germany, shipping costs will be charged
Sorry I just changed that.
For MONTHS I wasn’t charging shipping because I thought it was included. It wasn’t. So every single poster I sold for all those months I lost money on. I’m not willing to do that anymore, so shipping is now added to the price. I know it’s very expensive overseas. Nothing I can do about that right now.
I got it in Japon (german spelling) quite quickly and I occasionally refer to it for ideas.
A3 is too small, actually.
any possibility to download a pdf??
Is it still possible to purchase these?
Yes! It’s free to download and print from the guides:
Thanks for making these! I’m going to get a set printed for my office. Can you recommend dimensions?
Cheers,
Davi
I have mine at 18″⨉24″
hey Chris, can you please make the digital posters available again ? Thank you
They are! You can snag ’em for download over at the Grid and Flexbox guides. :)
