The thing about design patterns is that there is a wide variety of them and it would be near impossible to do justice to each of the patterns in a series here on the blog. Nonetheless, hopefully taking a look at these three have helped kickstart your interest in using design patterns in your work.

WHAT ARE CSS TRANSITIONS? Well, transitions smooth out value change by allowing elements to gently change from one style to the next; it's adding an effect to the change.

With a transition, the processes can be smoothed out so that the colour change faces in and out.
