Mission: A Zulu Love Letter

Assignment: Develop an online interactive magazine feature using HTML5. The magazine should be designed to adapt to different hardware types (desktop/ tablet/ smartphone) on which it is viewed.

Capabilities: The magazine should comprise of basic magazine features such as a logo and a smart design/ navigate user interface. The web page should also:
- Be online (just in case)
- Have an interactive component allowing users to build and customize their own Zulu Love Letter
  
- Feature hi/low res images of Zulu Love Letters as well as text for articles and instruction.
- Adapt across screen sizes
- Provide links for further exploration

Requirements: Technical requirements for the webpage include knowledge of HTML5/ CSS3. We'll be using HTML5 as opposed to the normal (but outdated) HTML4 because of the canvas element which "allows for dynamic, scriptable rendering of 2D shapes and bitmap images" (thanks Wikipedia).   For the interactivity component, designers will need to know their way around JavaScript. Some touch-up requirements to set your magazine from rest will include knowing what your user basically wants. This means leaving out all gibberish in texts, having an eye for thee design and most importantly, a fully functional-easy-to-understand webpage.
