Solution retrospective


What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

Was able to create most things from memory. Feel comfortable with basics of HTML structure. Used a separate .css file this time.

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

Need to be better at flex box. Had to still look some stuff up. I'd like to get it to memory so I can speed up my spacing. Wasn't sure about the exact spacing between things. Feel like I was eyeballing a lot of things, but maybe that's how its supposed to be.

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

Certain things look a little off compared to the original design like the shadow, spacing, and fonts. Any advice on how I could have found that out from the original design.

Hi, @BenTheChi

I saw your solution and I have some thoughts:

  • If you’re not a pro user, you won’t have access to the original designs in Figma and Sketch.
  • For the spacing issue, consider using browser extensions like Page Ruler or Measure to measure the spacing between elements accurately.
  • It looks like your font isn’t matching the design because your page is using sans-serif instead of Figtree. The line font-family: "Figtree", sans-serif; indicates that the page is trying to load the Figtree font, but if it’s not available, it defaults to sans-serif - which is a built-in font. Make sure to import the Figtree font from Google Fonts, as mentioned in your style-guide.md. A little research on how to do this will go a long way.
  • You mentioned that you were "eyeballing a lot of things," and that's completely normal! Even with access to the design, it still requires careful observation. Keep taking on challenges and aim to match the designs as closely as possible—you'll become more accustomed to it over time, which will help you grow as a developer.

Hope this helps!

Hey Ben! good job buddy .. About how you can get the measurements what I usually do is that I use photoshop (just an old protable version CS5) and there is a ruler tool so I sometimes start measuring and directly defining everything on the design itself so when I code I do not have to remember or take many looks back and forth which consumes my time, I just have my design with everything on it and I just write codes :) I sent you a connect on LinkedIn, I am looking for some guys to support and help each others on our way to become front-end devs, it's fun together right? keep it up dude!
