My process

• Rough out HTML semantics and start considering different sections of content
• start with mobile design first and roughing in the larger components then adding styling such as colors, fonts, positioning and flex-box directions.

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• Sass preprocessor custom properties
• Flexbox
• Mobile-first workflow

What I learned

Rather than using DIVs to swap out images based on the screensize, I used srcset and sizing within the image tags to grab the correct image to the screensize.

<img class="img-orange-kb orange-overlay" src="/assets/image-phone-and-keyboard-mobile.jpg" srcset="/assets/image-phone-and-keyboard-mobile.png 258w, /assets/image-phone-and-keyboard-tablet.jpg 428w, /assets/image-phone-and-keyboard-desktop.jpg 510w" sizes="(min-width: 60rem) 80vw, (min-width: 40rem) 90vw, 100vw" alt="A keyboard with an orange overlay next to a phone on a table">

-Using a filter over a provided image was new to me, usually I would just edit the image in a photoeditor and add an overlay there.

.img-orange-kb{
            width: 8rem;
            height: 12rem;
            background-color: black;
            border-top-right-radius: 10px;
            border-bottom-right-radius: 10px;
            border-bottom-left-radius: 0;
            border-top-left-radius: 0;
            object-fit: cover;
            filter: invert(35%) sepia(60%) saturate(500%) hue-rotate(346deg) brightness(75%) contrast(125%);
        }

Continued development

I'd really like to start using more image swapping methods via html into my workflow, its not always the best solution using a div with a class containing background images, especially for making the image accessible.
