Overview

The challenge

Your challenge is to build out this preview card component and get it looking as close to the design as possible.

You can use any tools you like to help you complete the challenge. So if you've got something you'd like to practice, feel free to give it a go.

Users should be able to:

• View the optimal layout depending on their device's screen size
• See hover states for interactive elements

My process

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• CSS custom properties
• Flexbox
• CSS Grid
• Mobile-first workflow

What I learned

• I learned an alternative method to stack two elements without using the position: absolute property. By leveraging the power of display: grid, I was able to achieve this efficiently.
• I explored creating a transparent overlay on an image. This effect, triggered on hover, adds a subtle and visually appealing touch to the design.
• I implemented a smooth transition effect on an element when interacting with its parent element. This enhances the overall user experience.
• Consider using <span> instead of paragraphs for elements that are not actual paragraphs. For example, <span>0.041 ETH</span> and <span>3 days left</span>
• The illustration image is decorative, so its alt text must be empty: alt="".
• Profile image could benefit from a more descriptive alt text, like alt="Headshot of Jules Wyvern".

Code Highlights

• use grid to stack up two items

  .card-img-container {
    place-items: center;
    transition: opacity 0.25s;
  }
  
  .card-img-container img {
    grid-column: 1/-1;
    grid-row: 1/-1;
  }

• transparent overlay on an image on hover

  .card-img-container {
    border-radius: var(--border-radius-secondary);
    overflow: hidden;
    cursor: pointer;
    position: relative;
  }
  
  .card-img-container::before {
    content: '';
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    background-color: hsla(178, 100%, 50%, 0.5);
    opacity: 0;
    transition: opacity 0.25s;
  }
  
  .card-img-container:hover::before {
      opacity: 1;
  }

• apply a transition effect to an element when interacting to its parent element

  .icon-view-svg {
      opacity: 0;
  }
  
  .card-img-container:hover .icon-view-svg {
      opacity: 1;
  }
