Objective: This assignment aims to assess your proficiency in advanced CSS, including selectors, layout techniques, animations, and responsive design.
Instructions:

- Use descendant selectors to style nested elements.
Task 2: Advanced Layout (20 points)
- Implement a multi-column layout using CSS Grid or Flexbox. Create a grid or flex layout for navigation, content, and a sidebar.
- Use media queries to change the layout for smaller screens (e.g., tablet and mobile) to ensure responsive design.
Task 3: CSS Transitions and Animations (20 points)

- Ensure that animations are well-timed and visually appealing.
Task 4: Custom Fonts (15 points)

- Utilize pseudo-elements like
::before
or::after
to add decorative elements to your web page. - Implement styles for links using pseudo-classes like

Task 7: Advanced Selectors and Combinators (10 points)
- Implement complex CSS selectors, such as combinators (
>

) to target specific nested elements. - Use attribute selectors to target elements with specific attributes.
Task 8: Compatibility and Fallbacks (10 points)
