Jess LeeThe wait is over! We are back with another Frontend Challenge.
Running through June 09, Frontend Challenge: June Edition will feature two June-themed prompts: CSS Art and Glam Up My Markup. For those of you who miss the One Byte Explainer, we promise we’ll bring that prompt back soon!
As always, there will be one winner per prompt. That’s two chances to win bragging rights, a gift from the DEV Shop, and an exclusive DEV badge.
Also, in case you didn't know - badges can stack on your profile to show off multiple wins! But of course, it’s not about the winning destination, it’s about the journey. We hope this is an opportunity to challenge yourself and have some fun.
Read on to learn about each prompt and how to participate!
Our Two Prompts:
CSS Art: June
Draw what comes to mind for you when it comes to the month of June. Depending on where you live, perhaps that’s the summer solstice or a transition to falling leaves and winter. Or maybe it is Father’s Day or Pride Month.
Whatever comes to mind when you think of June, please show us!
Here is the submission template for anyone that wants to jump right in, but please review all judging criteria and challenge rules on the official challenge page before submitting.
Glam Up My Markup: Beaches
Use CSS and JavaScript to make the below starter HTML markup beautiful, interactive, and useful. We have provided a starter template of a site that lists the best beaches in the world and some information about each one. Since the template does not include photos, you may need to get creative in how you might make it visually appealing.
Your submission should be more fun and interactive than the HTML we provide, but also be usable and accessible. You should not directly edit the HTML provided, unless it is via JavaScript. We expect style and substance. You may add basic boilerplate, including meta tags etc. for presentation purposes.
