notes on how i approached this
|
|
|
|
downloaded
|
|
read readme
|
|
read style guide
|
|
created css file
|
|
added it to the html file
|
|
added font awesome to the html file
|
|
added fonts to the css file
|
|
added initial styling (fonts, background color, background image)
|
|
in html file I
|
|
added header
|
|
added divs for sections (logo, middle, social media buttons)
|
|
put divs around existing content (text for right side)
|
|
added logo
|
|
added mockup image
|
|
added icons for social media
|
|
saved it out
|
|
moved on to css
|
|
adjust positioning based on how it looks on design
|
|
got things roughly in position.
|
|
pause for bed, however curious how I am in relation to design file
|
|
realise I really can't match 1440x800 because the laptop I'm using is only 1366x768 (originally thought it was 2560x1440, page said only 1440 ... easy mistake. Had to look at design image for res)
|
|
go to sleep
|
|
next morning I realise
|
|
chrome in developer mode allows you to create devices of specific resolutions
|
|
set up 2, one 1440x800 and the other 375x800
|
|
I can then save out the image and use diffchecker.com and use the design image vs the current image of the page to compare and see how close I am. You can use a diff mode that only shows the differences (mostly in green) which makes it easier to adjust.
|
|
Now, now I need to finish styling for desktop ...
|
|
remainder of day lost to calls and roleplaying
|
|
next day
|
|
download diffchecker trial rather than keep using website
|
|
adjust size of logo svg
|
|
play with positioning using margin and rem. Logo and mockup images are so close at this point (see image diff 1)
|
|
|
|
realise I probably should be using % rather than rem for margin positioning
|
|
also should probably be using 0 positioning in body and doing it in each element
|
|
tweaked logo and mid section margins mixture rem & % for the moment
|
|
set body to have 0 margin
|
|
seemingly no changes are made with % unless they are to a pixel, so 4.86 is the same as 4.8611111, need to go to next px % which is 4.7916666667
|
|
then lots and lots of iterating. Making changes and comparing in diffchecker against the design doc.
|
|
Spent 2 hours+ on this. Too long.
|
|
Still haven't quite nailed the blurb section.
|
|
Basically the logo is slight off
|
|
the differences between the mockup and symbols are image quality between jpg and png
|
|
its like a pixel off with the social media buttons

|

|
|
|
|
|
|
Still now on to the mobile variant. Can I nail it better?
|
|
spent an age on this, lots of tweaking. Not quite there but nearly, so nearly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
so. This is where I gave up.
|
|
|
|
Things I've not touched so far:
|
|
main section
|
|
accessibility
|
|
mobile |
