Monday Morning Meeting โ€“ CSS Office Culture Scene โ˜•๐Ÿ’ผ

Frontend Challenge CSS Art Submission

This is a submission for Frontend Challenge: Office Edition sponsored by Axero, CSS Art: Office Culture.

๐Ÿง  Inspiration

This piece captures a familiar scene in many workplaces: the Monday morning meeting. From laptops to coffee cups, from speech bubbles echoing corporate buzzwords to stressed expressions and floating motivationโ€”itโ€™s a lighthearted satire on modern office life. The idea was to create something fun, relatable, and full of small storytelling details using only HTML and CSS.

โœจ Journey

I wanted to bring a full-blown office scene to life using only HTML and CSS. Here are some highlights:

  • ๐ŸŽจ Pure CSS Art: No images or SVGsโ€”everything is crafted using divs and CSS gradients.
  • ๐Ÿงโ€โ™‚๏ธ Boss and 4 Employees with individual styles.
  • ๐Ÿ’ป 3D-style laptops on the meeting table using transform and perspective.
  • โ˜• Coffee cups with handles and tops.
  • ๐Ÿ—จ๏ธ Speech bubbles with actual workplace jargon (weโ€™ve all heard โ€œcircle backโ€, right? ๐Ÿ˜…).
  • ๐Ÿ•’ A clock on the wall and a floating "TEAMWORK!" banner for some extra motivation.
  • ๐Ÿ“Š A whiteboard with a faux bar chart and the word "SYNERGY" to complete the buzz.

What I Learned

  • How to layer and position elements precisely in a confined layout.
  • Crafting 3D illusions using transform, shadows, and gradients.
  • Balancing humor and art with minimal HTML.

Whatโ€™s Next?

  • Make the scene responsive for mobile.
  • Animate the characters or add interactivity via JavaScript in a future version.
  • Explore more workplace momentsโ€”maybe a lunchroom or coffee break next!

Thanks for checking out my submission!
Happy coding and good luck to everyone participating in the challenge! ๐Ÿš€
