I almost feel like this is missing something, maybe a youtube video showing how to split up the image and save the components.

Surely this is technical though as it is a tutorial on how to use CSS and HTML to make something.

The examples I have used are just for guidance, its not me designing it for you lol

Hi jubba

Please note that the rules have recently changed slightly and we no longer give prizes for 'design' tutorials, but more technical threads instead.

Please check the previous submissions for more info.

Edit: I suppose this more or less fits in to technical anyway. Is there a final result we can see? :)
