Usage

Divider usage:

  • Break up horizontal content that is not visually different enough to distinguish itself from neighboring content.
  • Provide a rhythm while browsing vertical content.
  • Add emphasis to specific tasks or information by tightly pairing dividers around small but important chunks of data.

Container usage:

  • Use containers sparingly, because too many containers on a page causes excess noise.
  • Use container color wisely so there aren't too many colored containers on one page.
  • Avoid putting the entire page content in a container.
