My process

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• BEM naming convention
• Flexbox
• Mobile-first workflow

What I learned

• to upgrade my CSS reset plate
• using CSS variables for colors and fonts
• hiding the main heading of the page using position: absolute, overflow: hidden and negative margin to get it out of the viewport
• positioning the card vertically using display: flex on the body
• margin-top: auto will make the last element in a container float to the bottom of its parent (which in turn helps with responsiveness)
• mix-blend-mode: screen combined with color: black is a nifty way to set color to match the background. used it to set the color of my buttons' text
• which images need alt text and which should use aria-hidden: true instead
• used BEM naming convention for the first time and found it useful
• used flex property for the first time

<h1 class="sr-only">3-column preview card component</h1>

.card__button {
  color: black;
  mix-blend-mode: screen;
}

Continued development

CSS Grid flex property

Useful resources

• MDN - flex - This helped me make some sense of flex shorthand. I really like how it worked and I will continue trying to make sense of it in the next projects.
• Markdown Guide - Used this documentation to write this README.
