🎨 CSS Art: Office Culture – Dev Desk Vibes

Frontend Challenge CSS Art Submission

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


🧠 Inspiration

What does office culture mean to a developer?

For me β€” it's dual monitors, an RGB keyboard, coffee on the side, and a terminal searching Stack Overflow at 7 AM πŸ˜….

This CSS art represents that exact mood β€” a developer's peaceful (and chaotic) workspace before the daily standup.

✨ Journey

This project was created using pure HTML and CSS β€” no JavaScript, no images.

Highlights:

  • Dual monitors: one for coding, one for task management
  • Glow-effect mechanical keyboard
  • Reminders section: standup, bugs, deploy & lunch β€” the usual!
  • Coffee mug (non-negotiable β˜•)

What I learned:

  • Using CSS flex and grid for structured, layered designs
  • Creating glowing elements with box-shadow and transitions
  • Designing in β€œdeveloper reality” rather than just aesthetics

What's next?

  • Make it interactive using CSS variables or checkbox toggles
  • Add a dark/light mode switch entirely in CSS
  • Maybe even animate the coffee steam ☁️

πŸ› οΈ Tech Used

  • HTML5
  • CSS3 (Flexbox, Grid, Animations)
