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.

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• CSS custom properties
• Flexbox

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.
