Styling with css is very tricky, but also very rewarding. My old portfolio now has some delicious-looking colors, a snazzy font, and an orderly layout.
It took me a few tries to understand that I should put my whereabouts and favorites into different divs, and then into a compound div to get the side by side flexbox layout that I wanted. But, thanks to the help of IMA fellow Tristan, I was able to get my webpage looking more structured.
For the colors, fonts, I already preset that before I went to anyone for help, because that’s actually the fun part, and it’s not as tricky. For the colors of the font and background, I did something really special. I found an image of some nail polish from a blog post somewhere on the web, and I uploaded it into photoshop, so that I could color pick the colors on the nails and then use those numbers in my css.
An additional component I really wanted for my webpage, is for the links to go to a new tab instead of taking the place of the current tab. I also learnt to add links to pages that I personally made within my webpage. Previously, I only linked to other website’s webpages, but now my whereabouts and favorites go to their own pages, albeit they’re the same information, just different in how they’re centered.
Anyhow, I believe this was really fun to do, and I look forward to utilizing the skills I learned in the interactive comic project.
