Vertical vs. Horizontal Cards: Which Are Better?
Original View
- The choice between vertical and horizontal cards depends on the type of content you want to display and the user experience you want to create.
- Vertical cards are better for displaying large images, as they create a focused scanning flow and require fewer eye fixations.
- Horizontal cards are better for displaying long text, as they provide more whitespace for each line and make it easier to read.
- Vertical cards are more suitable for displaying metadata, as they allow for shorter eye saccades and quicker scanning.
- You can conserve space and make your horizontal cards more readable by using a combination of text and images.
