Because your design is horizontal you seem to target tablets right?

A mobile first approach (whether it's tablet or phone) is usually designed from a portrait point of view. Landscape views generally don't tend to work well on phones with small screen sizes.
Hope it helps, Max

Currently i am following different courses so my answers could be of. My attention now would be more with C# or Python.
I am a switcher between subject. So my answers vary according to what is in my frontal loab at this particular time.
Best Regard,

The design show in the video is for mobile (in portrait mode). When I read your question, then for once I thought that yes it could be a confusion.
But if you to go through the video again, Nick Pettit has put the menu (hamburger) on the extreme right and the logo on the extreme left end of available view port (screen). Had it been landscape mode, there would be more space in between them to accommodate few more items ( like navigation tabs, links, etc), which he has neither discussed nor put in the design.
So with just two items(logo on the left and menu on the right) present on the extreme ends of the screen, it is made for portrait mode.
I hope this logically makes sense to you.
Also, in the next video, he's putting the wireframe design into an iPhone in portrait mode.
Thanks for bringing up this question.
