## My process

- Created semantic HTML first

- Used GIMP (utilising guides and rulers) to help understand spacing and sizing for various elements of the design using the images provided

- Created CSS selectors to:

  - create custom variables to contain the various colours and font sizes used in the design

  - reset margin and padding to 0 with box-sizing: border-box to help with more accurate size measurements

  - layout the design using Flexbox

  - style the various elements

  - create a diffent width layout for desktop version

### Built with

- Semantic HTML5 markup

- CSS custom properties

- Flexbox

- Mobile-first workflow (responsive design)

- Google Fonts

### What I learned

Was able to put into practice recent learning regarding CSS Flexbox and using variables within CSS.

### Continued development

Extra practice using flexbox and integrating it into more complicated designs with CSS grid.

### Useful resources

- [HSL to RGB colour conversion](https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/color/hsl-to-rgb.html) - This helped me to convert the shadow colour from HSL to RGB so that I could use RGBA to create a box shadow on the QR card.

- [PX to REM converter](https://pixelsconverter.com/px-to-rem) - This helped me to convert px font sizes to rem sizes for a more responsive design.

- [Google Fonts](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Outfit) - Font used in the design was Outfit using Regular 400 and Bold 700 font styles.

- [GIMP](https://www.gimp.org/) - Free and open source image editor.
