Introduction

One of the best ways to sharpen your CSS skills is to try to recreate an existing style and layout, so take a look at the deliverable below, work with a partner, and build your own version of Instagram.com. Don't worry if you can't get it to look exactly as you see but try your best to get as close as possible.

There's a starter code so that you can jump right into it.

Requirements

• Fork this repo
• Clone this repo

• Use one of the CSS layout techniques to position elements on the page (display, float, flexbox, or grids)
• Look up in MDN and use CSS properties and values that may not have been covered in class, for example:
  • background: url("YOUR-LINK.COM")
  • list-style
  • text-decoration
  • text-transform
• Use a single external CSS stylesheet to style all pages
• Use the images provided to construct the appropriate elements on the page:
  • the iPhone
  • App Store and Google Play buttons
  • Instagram Logo
  • Login button

Upon completion, run the following commands:

git add .
git commit -m "done"
