What I learned

Learning more about the utility of Linear Gradients. The mobile layout for this challenge has a darkened background Image. I first extracted the hex for the color to darken the image from Figma and 'converted' (too easy in VSCode) it to HSLA values. The value from Figma seems a bit too light so i increased value.

background: linear-gradient(rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5)), url('landingpagepic.jpg');

Continued development

I need to become more comforatble adding JavaScript components, i know a bit how to code, but i feel some resistance!

Useful resources

• How to Background Image - This helped me to create the mobile darkened Background-Image.
• Pixel to Rem VScode extension - Had enough of divding px values / 16, 'Option / Z ' works faster.
