Pre-Project Thoughts

Having only produced an android logo previous to this project, I wasnÕt expecting much. Although the google home page looks simple, after inspecting the underlying code, I knew I was up for a challenge.

Post-Project Thoughts

The page looks reasonably similar. I found the search bar to be difficult to display to a similar level. One of my major challenges was moving elements on the page. The different properties and selector format was an issue. The difference between display properties such as inline or inline-block will have to be researched further.
