CSS Zen Garden Challenge
CSS Website, 2021
The CSS Zen Garden Challenge is a challenge prompting the creation of an original webpage using only Cascading Style Sheets to influence the aesthetics. I chose to create a digital movie poster for one of my favorite movies, Back to the Future. Through CSS, I created a gradient background and included the iconic film image of Marty McFly. I also created digital wireframes utilizing Adobe XD to guide my design process taking into account user accessibility and color contrast.
