Display Icon to left of Title & Text with Flex - html

Question

I'm trying to create a type of 'blurb' with SVG icon with Title & Text using Flex. I have attached a visual example to show you what I'm trying to achieve.
I feel close, but what I've got so far is still kinda sketchy, and I'm struggling to get the exact output. Any advice to point me in the right direction would be appercaited. Thanks
EDIT: How do you reduce the space between H3 & P tags? (I did try margin & padding, yet it didn't have any effect)

Answer 1

You don't need to use floats. You can use flexbox for this entire thing. You also should be using a paragraph element underneath your h3 instead of a div.
The HTML and CSS is below, and I've also linked the codepen so you can play around with it and see the code in action.
https://codepen.io/bdlowery/pen/gOxqqKa
<div class="container">
<picture>
<svg height="100" width="100">
<circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" fill="red" />
</svg>
</picture>
<div class="text-content">
<h3>Search properties</h3>
<p>Browse thousands of exclusive properties across the country.</p>
</div>
</div>
/* main idea to get what you want */
picture {
max-width: 100px;
}
.container {
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
align-items: center;
}
/* setup to get responsive svgs */
html {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
*,
*:before,
*:after {
box-sizing: inherit;
}
picture {
display: block;
}
svg {
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}

Answer 2

Add align-items: center; to the equation and replace the div under your h3 to a p tag instead. Here's the sandbox and I put a red border around it just so I could visually see what was going on. The code is the same as yours, I just added the align-items and replaced the div with a p. https://codesandbox.io/s/small-shadow-fde90?file=/index.html

Answer 3

Add this css
.text-content {
display:flex;
flex-direction:column;
width: 335px;
padding-left: 20px;
}
h3 {
font-family: 'Montserrat', sans-serif; font-size: 28px;
margin-bottom:-20px;
}
p {
color: #48525B;
font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Helvtica,Arial,sans-serif;
font-size: 20px;
line-height: 28px;
letter-spacing: 0;
}
