The Brat era—loud lime green, gritty fonts, and unapologetic energy—took over pop culture. Inspired by Charli XCX’s bold aesthetic, I built a free tool where anyone can design their own Brat-style album cover.
🎯 The Project: QuickBrat.com
QuickBrat.com lets users instantly create and download custom Brat covers. It’s simple, meme-worthy, and viral-friendly. The goal was to make something fast, fun, and frictionless.
⚙️ Tech Stack
Here’s what I used to build it:
- Laravel 10 – backend framework
- Blade + Tailwind CSS – for front-end templating
- JavaScript + Canvas API – for image rendering and export
- MySQL – to store templates and user data
- Vercel – for deployment
👨💻 Built with Simple Web Technologies
This is a simple open-source project built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — no frameworks, no heavy setups.
