Business Cards: Design & Creation

Image
In preparation for the WorkFest, I designed a business card using InDesign and printed my design on two different pieces of coloured card. This is so that I can place the NFC tag inside of the business card, then stick the two sheets together. I tested the NFC Tag by writing my portfolio URL to the tag  using an app called NFC tools, this was successful and the tag was read successfully by a mobile device. I cut each card to size using a guillotine, placed the NFC tag in the middle of the two sheets and glued them together. Front & Back of Business Card

Code Academy - Learn CSS Course

Image
I wanted to revise coding in CSS in preparation for the Hackathon starting on October 16th. I completed this course with 100% completion. I found the grids and advanced grids chapter the most difficult part of this course.  It was more mathematical than the other exercises so I struggled a bit on this section in particular. I made a lot of notes on this course as there were some things I didn't know/couldn't remember.

To learn how to use HTML and CSS together I decided to take the Make a Website course in preparation for the Hackathon starting on October 16th. I completed this course with 100% completion. I found the bootstrap section of this course really interesting and made some notes on how to create a website using a basic bootstrap template.
