In this project, I recreated a simplified version of an Instagram profile page focusing on CSS layout and styling. This involved applying various CSS techniques to achieve a responsive, aesthetically pleasing design that functions well across different devices.
- CSS Layout Techniques: I feel confident in using Flexbox and Grid to structure web page elements. Implementing these techniques to align and distribute content was a highlight of my learning.
- Responsive Design: I successfully implemented media queries to ensure the page looks good on both desktop and mobile screens.
- Styling Elements: I was able to style the profile image, user information, and gallery section effectively, closely resembling an Instagram profile.
- Responsive Design for Smaller Screens: Adjusting layouts and font sizes for smaller screens was challenging. I had to experiment with different approaches to ensure the design remained consistent and functional.
- Hover and Focus Effects: Implementing interactive elements like hover and focus effects required more practice and research to get them right.
- Advanced CSS Properties: I want to explore more advanced CSS properties and animations to enhance the user experience.
- Code Optimization: While my code achieved the desired outcome, I believe I can improve its efficiency and readability.
- Creative Design Choices: I adhered closely to the Instagram layout for practice but would like to experiment with more creative design choices in future projects.
This project was an invaluable hands-on experience in applying CSS layout techniques. It helped solidify my understanding of CSS and its practical applications in web development. I look forward to building on these skills in future projects.
