Side projects are imporant to me. Without these, I probably wouldn't know anywhere near to what I know now. It's important to have fun once in a while.
What I'm working on at the moment. Some of it might be a little rough around the edges.
Have been looking at print magazine for inspiration and seeing what results can be achieved converting a print layout to digital with CSS.
I've been designing and building websites for close to twenty years. I've learnt a lot of my skills from doing side projects. Some serious but most just daft.
As part of a training drive and wanting to learn CSS Grid, I decided to combine that with a real topic. And what better topic than the classice TV show Murder She Wrote.
In October, 2018, I was asked to take part in the .Net design challenge where I had to design a homepage for a fictional national park. As part of this, I decided to create the actual site for a CSS grid exercise.
Decided to rebuild some old designs from 2010/11 before responsive was a thing. Was interesting to see how well the designs would hold up with modern CSS. No more image gradients!
