What I learned

I first started this project in september, and I had decided to give up on it after spending more than ten days on it (struggle with Flexbox). At the end of October, I decided to give myself a second chance, and to start over. I completed the challenge in less than a day. As this is the first challenge I've done, I think I learned to be patient with myself, and to not give up (as cheesy as it may sound).

I struggled with flexbox and media queries, so I am quite proud of the final result.

body {
    background-image: url(images/pattern-background-desktop.svg);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-color: hsl(225, 100%, 94%);
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 375px) {
    body {
        background-image: url(images/pattern-background-mobile.svg);
        background-color: hsl(225, 100%, 94%);
    }
}

Continued development

In future projects I want to focus on:

• using Flexbox (and Grid)
• being comfortable with layouts
• being comfortable with media queries (and responsive designs)

Useful resources

• Flexbox Froggy (https://flexboxfroggy.com) - This game helped me recall the differents CSS properties to place properly the HTML elements using Flexbox.
