CSS Grid, Flexbox, box shadow, box sizing

Hi, Nicholas. Nice question! This was the first challenge that I took, to answer your questions:

How exactly did you go about making sure the box shadow was as close as possible?

• Using the box-shadow property, we can basically give it 5 values (x-offset, y-offset, blur, spread, and color). I checked your code and it seems you gave a value of -6px to your spread, in my case, this is unnecessary. What I did was:

box-shadow: 1rem 0 4rem rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);

I only gave it 4 values (x-offset, y-offset, blur, and color) which worked for me. You need to experiment with this to achieve your desired outcome.

How did you go about making sure your image was sized correctly?

• I did not define a fixed size for my image, what I did was I added the max-width property to my card container and made the image occupy 100% of the width:

.container {
  max-width: 30.5rem;
}

.qr-img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

Did you put the image dimensions in the HTML img tag?

• No, I prefer adding styles to my elements externally which is the proper way of adding styles.
