Scenario

You're a UX designer for an online form-building company (competitors are Typeform and Jotform).

The company is doing a complete redesign of their product. It's a small company and you are tasked with designing the individual inputs and controls that clients can add to their forms.

Task

In either a design program or HTML/CSS, design the following for the new forms:

  • Button
  • Text input
  • Textarea
  • Select
  • Checkbox
  • Radio
  • Switch/toggle
  • File input

Annotate your designs with the reasoning behind your decisions.

Extra Credit: Include mockups or guidance for how to use validation, add labels, and build layouts (like spacing, placement, input groups, etc.)
