I began with breaking down the design into possible HTML structures and deciding how they might interact with each other. I have created a modal of similar style so, I opted for the structure I was most familiar with. Which was to create a hole container modal and then two sub div halves that would each take 50% of the flex-box. Then style each half as if it were it's own piece.

Managing the negative space was a bit difficult and tedious, but I appreciated the challenge.

This project turned out to be more of a challenge than I expected. Mostly in terms of styling. That is where my skills lack the most! However, I am proud of the turnout for the CSS here:

@media (max-width: 600px) {
    section {
        flex-direction: column-reverse;
        height: 100vh;
        width: 60vw;
        border-radius: 0;
        padding: 0;
        margin: 0;
        justify-content: start;
    }
    ...
}

And all the following styling. Using @media was a bit new to me, but I enjoyed learning something new.

• Web Dev - This helped me working with the transition property in the CSS. For some reason, using transition alone was not creating the results I wanted. For instance: transition: 300ms ease-in-out smooth would not work as a smooth eased transition. So, I ended up working with individual properties.

I started first with reviewing the design and deciding how the HTML might be structured for the desired outcome. Then I broke the design down into different elements/tags. Starting first with the container that wraps around the entire card. Then I added a figure to hold the img. I broke the text apart from the img by separating it in a div. Once the HTML structure was complete, I moved into the styling and started centering the elements. At this point I needed to resize the image/figure, and align the text.

After this was complete, I moved focus to adding in the last details with border-radius and a drop-shadow filter. I adjust the text colors and added the background-color.

• Flexbox

I utilized margin: 0 auto; through this challenge, as I didn't want to cause a major shift to the elements when using display: flex.

I am most proud of the following CSS, due to the fact, I am used to creating percentages that allow for easier responsive design. However, in this challenge the object was not supposed to resize based on mobile/desktop. The width was set to a hard number and that maintains throughout the resizing.

div.container {
    background-color: aliceblue;
    width: 325px;
    overflow: hidden;
    margin: 0 auto;
    border-radius: 20px;
    padding: 10px;
    filter: drop-shadow(0 0 15px #0000003e);
}
