Crafting Visually Appealing Web Layouts

Introduction

In this lab, we will explore the fundamentals of CSS programming and learn how to create visually appealing web pages. Through a series of exercises and challenges, you will gain hands-on experience with CSS selectors, properties, and values, and become proficient in styling HTML elements. By the end of the lab, you will have the skills and knowledge to create beautiful and responsive web layouts.

Isometric Card

index.html and style.css have already been provided in the VM.

To create an isometric card, use transform with rotateX() and rotateZ() along with a box-shadow. You can also add a transition to animate the card and create a lift effect when the user hovers over it.

Here's an example code snippet:

<div class="isometric-card"></div>

.isometric-card {
  margin: 0 auto;
  transform: rotateX(51deg) rotateZ(43deg);
  transform-style: preserve-3d;
  background-color: #fcfcfc;
  will-change: transform;
  width: 240px;
  height: 320px;
  border-radius: 2rem;
  box-shadow:
    1px 1px 0 1px #f9f9fb,
    -1px 0 28px 0 rgba(34, 33, 81, 0.01),
    28px 28px 28px 0 rgba(34, 33, 81, 0.25);
  transition:
    transform 0.4s ease-in-out,
    box-shadow 0.3s ease-in-out;
}

.isometric-card:hover {
  transform: translate3d(0px, -16px, 0px) rotateX(51deg) rotateZ(43deg);
  box-shadow:
    1px 1px 0 1px #f9f9fb,
    -1px 0 28px 0 rgba(34, 33, 81, 0.01),
    54px 54px 28px -10px rgba(34, 33, 81, 0.15);
}
