My process

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• CSS custom properties
• CSS Variables
• CSS Font-Faces
• Flexbox
• CSS Grid
• Mobile-first workflow

What I learned

1. How to use the tag to center the card.

body{
    min-height: 100vh;
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
}

2. How to make the mobile version take up the full width of the screen.

Taking into account that the card spans 4 columns in the original design.

main{
    grid-column: span 4;
}

3. How to keep the image from overflowing the container.

main img {
    width: 100%;
    object-fit: cover;
}

4. How to apply states to links.

main h1 a:hover{
    color:var(--Yellow);
}

main h1 a:focus{
    color:var(--Yellow);
}

Continued development

I intend to continue studying how to position elements using a combination of CSS Grid and Flexbox.

Perhaps it would have been easier to position the elements by splitting the grid into rows rather than columns.
