    Hi Thomas,

    Nice work on this project and no faults on the accessibility/html report - well done!

    As an alternative option to the overlay approach you could try adding a solid linear-gradient to a background image: background-image: linear-gradient(hsl(277, 64%, 61%), hsl(277, 64%, 61%) ), url(../your/image-filepath);.

    You would also need to explore background-blend-mode (multiply usually does the trick).

    Also I think you should bring your media query in sooner, it suffers at the small tablet size, the provided sizes in the design guide aren't prescriptive - do what you need to, to make the design work!

    I hope that helps, happy coding!

    Hello bro, your solution looks nice, I understand, the color overlay part was quite rare to pull out. The way that I did it, was with background-image: linear--gradient(color), url(".image/some.png'). I also see other solutions that did it with opacity and display none. Maybe you could check it out

    Hello. You must add a div with a background-color on the image and play with the opacity and thé mix-blend-mode.

How does the accessibility report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use axe-core to run an automated audit of your code.

This picks out common accessibility issues like not using semantic HTML and not having proper heading hierarchies, among others.

This automated audit is fairly surface level, so we encourage to you review the project and code in more detail with accessibility best practices in mind.

How does the CSS report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use stylelint to run an automated check on the CSS code.

We've added some of our own linting rules based on recommended best practices. These rules are prefixed with frontend-mentor/ which you'll see at the top of each issue in the report.

The report will audit all CSS, SASS, SCSS and Less files in your repository.

How does the HTML validation report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use html-validate to run an automated check on the HTML code.

The report picks out common HTML issues such as not using headings within section elements and incorrect nesting of elements, among others.

Note that the report can pick up “invalid” attributes, which some frameworks automatically add to the HTML. These attributes are crucial for how the frameworks function, although they’re technically not valid HTML. As such, some projects can show up with many HTML validation errors, which are benign and are a necessary part of the framework.

How does the JavaScript validation report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use eslint to run an automated check on the JavaScript code.

The report picks out common JavaScript issues such as not using semicolons and using var instead of let or const, among others.

The report will audit all JS and JSX files in your repository. We currently do not support Typescript or other frontend frameworks.
