Okay, so today I wanted to mess around with something I saw online – recreating a profile card I found by a designer named Ryan Seggerman. I’ve been trying to get better at front-end stuff, so I figured this would be good practice.
Getting Started
First, I opened up my code editor – I’m using VS Code, nothing fancy. Then, I created the basic HTML structure. You know, the usual: html, head, body tags. I threw in a div to hold the whole card.
Building the Structure
Next, I started building out the sections of the card. There was this image at the top, so I added an img tag for that. I didn’t have the actual image, so I just used a placeholder for now. Below that, I needed a spot for the name and title, so I used a couple of p tags for those.
- Added image tag with placeholder.
- Created
ptags for name and title.
Adding Some Style
Now, this is where I always struggle a bit – the CSS. I wanted to make it look at least somewhat like the original design. I started by giving the main card div a background color and some padding. Then, I centered the image and gave it a circular shape using border-radius.
I messed around with the font sizes and colors for the name and title, trying to get them to look right. I also added some basic styling to the body, like setting a default font and background color.
The Result (So Far)
It’s definitely not a perfect replica, and honestly the CSS is still a bit messy. The layout is not correct at all, and the font is not what it should *, you know, it’s a start. I can see the basic structure there, and it’s kind of resembling the original. I’ll probably keep tweaking it later and try to get the details closer to Ryan’s design. Maybe I’ll even look up some tutorials on how to do those specific effects. This front-end is quite some thing!
