Project 2: Card Component
In Brief
You will design a card component and then recreate that design using your current knowledge of HTML and CSS, as well as any media (e.g., images, icons) you choose.
Purpose
- Recognize and resolve the issues of interpreting a static design into an adaptable, functional web component.
- Demonstrate your understanding of basic HTML and CSS, including basic layout styles.
Process
- Review options for the type of card you may design.
- Even though you’re not designing a whole site, you should think about the context for your card: What type of site does it exist on? Who is the audience for this site?
- Create two style tiles with your ideas about typography and colors for this assignment, including the following:
- color palette
- body text styling
- button design
- Using the design program of your choosing, create two different design comps for your card component based on the elements from your style tiles.
- Present style tiles and concepts to classmates for critique.
