Hackathon: Day 1 - CSS Advanced

We started the hackathon with simple coding principles in HTML and CSS.


Mar Presenting (Stadon, 2018)

We began to learn more about jquery using Javascript and learnt to link this using a local file or using a link. I decided to use the local version that I saved in my js/lib folder because this means that I can work on my code without having to use the internet.




Mar showed us how to use Google Fonts in our code, which allows us to be original with our fonts as there's a large amount to choose from. https://fonts.google.com/

I chose the font "Mali" from the Google Fonts website and put this into my code.

Mar also showed up how to use animations which is a new feature that has been added to CSS3.
Unfortunately not all animations are compatible in different browsers so this may need to be taken into account.

We learnt that z-index is used for depth and layering.
By changing the value of z-index, we can change which box overlaps.


Z-index value = -1 for the sector "mylayer"


Z-index value = 3 for the sector "mylayer"

New feature of CSS3 is grids used for responsive web, that is used in bootstrap.
We went over SCSS and how it differs to SASS and CSS.

[Research] Traditional Poster Design (4CTA1214)

Image
As you can see from the superman poster, there are only four main colours used which includes red, blue, yellow and brown. All elements are filled in with block colours with no shading which was a common colour theme for traditional posters of this kind. This poster may have been used to advertise a new Superman comic or movie depending on the year it was created. The expression on the characters face fits the title shown on the poster explaining that he is returning. This poster advertised Coca Cola, and looks as though this specific poster was used in the USA - due to the currency used. The whole aim of the poster is to incorporate this drink into working peoples daily lives. This is seen by the slogan, 'Work refreshed' and the small graphics on the bottom right of the poster. Displayed is a man working in a factory environment and a lady is working in an office environment both drinking cola during their breaks - to feel refreshed. In some ways the bottle and
