Week 02 Day 1 - Octodex

gstark commented 6 years ago

GitHub has a great mascot called OctoCat. OctoCat even has it's own gallery of variations, created by GitHub itself and fans, called Octodex.

Unfortunately, the Octodex is not responsive*! Today, your task is to recreate the layout of The Octodex as closely as possible, but make it responsive. You can use all the tools you have at your disposal to get the job done. Use your browser's Developer Tools to inspect their site to find the exact font sizes and padding amounts.

* Well, actually it uses javascript set the number of columns on page load, but we want to see interactive responsiveness when we resize our window!

Objectives

Build on your knowledge of HTML & CSS
Implement a responsive design with media queries
Implement, from scratch, a given design
Understand HTML/CSS Layout
Be able to place elements on a page where you want them.
Use flexbox techniques layout pages.

Requirements

You should strive to implement the design as close as possible, though, especially if you've never touch HTML or CSS before, this can be extraordinarily difficult, and will take a lot of practice and mileage.
Note: You should complete at least the tasks given for explorer mode as listed below before turning in the assignment, as well as before attempting adventure or epic modes.

Explorer Mode

[x] Recreate the page as closely as you possibly can. Use the same fonts, sizes, and colors. Download some of your favorite Octocat images to use in your page (12-16 or so).
[x] Use flexbox styles to layout the header and the Octocats (hint: checkout the flex-wrap property).
[x] use CSS media queries to resize the Octocat containers to look great as a single full-width column on small screens, and a nice grid on bigger screens.
[x] watch this video to work more with media queries https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KL-z9A56SQ

Adventure Mode

[ ] Use several different media queries for small, medium, and large width browsers/devices and make different visual choices for the layout on each.

Epic Mode

[ ] Go back to your hobby website, or to the "flexbox" assignment and update site to be mobile friendly and responsive.
