Built with

What I learned

I learned how to overlay a partially transparent background color over a background image. I gained more comfortability and insight into the box model and building responsive layouts. I found dealing with the image and responsive resizing to be challenging, but I was able to work through it to develop a solution that I am happy with.

Continued development

I am continuing to learn and solidify the basics of HTML and CSS with these 'newbie' challenges from Frontend Mentor. I plan to continue this process of creating and then viewing solutions. I still have much to learn from each challenge.

Useful resources

• MDN Web Docs - An excellent comprehensive resource, my 'go-to' for all things front end.

• James Greilick - No website, just a fireman learning web development :)

Once again, thanks to FrontEnd Mentor. I look forward to learning with each challenge.
