Adding experience and skills

This theme generates pages based on Markdown files in the path/experience directory. Your Markdown files should contain some frontmatter defining their company, logo, etc. All company logos must be relative to imagesPath/companies directory. All Skills logos must be relative to imagesPath/skills directory. All layout images must be relative to company directory, for example: imagesPath/companies/vlooping

Important

For each Skill you must add the logo of the Framework, library or program, with a resolution of width: 500px, height: 500px, in the src/images/skills/ directory I leave several logos, only Skills logos that I own are present, if the logo you need does not appear you must create it.

Layout number is for image animation you can select from 1 to 5, please do not forget to add the images “images/companies/vlooping.png, images/skills/html5.png, images/skills/react.png, images/companies/vlooping/vlooping.png” to run the following example

- Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text
- It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page
- There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available
- The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested

Skills

The Skills are automatically selected from experience, in case some skill you acquired does not correspond to a company you can add it in path/experience/_additionalSkills.md

Component shadowing

You can customize elements like the css style or about-me content by taking advantage of component shadowing.

I recommend using Coolors.co to select a color palette and adapt it to your new portfolio.

You can change the color of the text and the background of each page, for example:

// src/@christiandavid/gatsby-theme-byfolio/layout/layoutColors.css.js
import { css } from "@emotion/core"
import lineSvg from "../../../static/assets/line.svg"

const styles = css`
  .e404.layout-wrapper .layout-inner {
    background: #fff;
  }
  .e404 .data-section {
    color: #000;
  }
  .aboutme.layout-wrapper .layout-inner {
    background: #fff;
  }
  .aboutme .data-section {
    color: #000;
  }
  .aboutme .hamburgercolr::before,
  .aboutme .hamburgercolr::after,
  .e404 .hamburgercolr::before,
  .e404 .hamburgercolr::after {
    background-color: #000;
  }
  .home.layout-wrapper .layout-inner {
    background: #0e0f11;
    background: #0e0f11 url(${lineSvg}) center center fixed;
    background-size: contain;
  }
  .home.layout-wrapper h1,
  .home.layout-wrapper h2 {
    color: #fff;
  }
  .skill.layout-wrapper .layout-inner {
    color: #fff;
    background: #9d316e;
    background: url(${lineSvg}) center center fixed, linear-gradient(
        45deg,
        #9d316e,
        #de2d3e
      );
    background-size: cover;
  }
  .experience.layout-wrapper .layout-inner {
    background: #3a3d98;
    background: url(${lineSvg}) center center fixed, linear-gradient(
        45deg,
        #6f22b9,
        #3a3d98
      );
    background-size: cover;
  }
  .home .hamburgercolr::before,
  .home .hamburgercolr::after,
  .skill .hamburgercolr::before,
  .skill .hamburgercolr::after,
  .experience .hamburgercolr::before,
  .experience .hamburgercolr::after {
    background-color: #fff;
  }
  .home .btn-contact-color,
  .experience .btn-contact-color {
    color: #fff;
  }
  .aboutme .btn-contact-color,
  .e404 .btn-contact-color {
    color: #000;
  }
`

export default styles

You can change the about-me text in the “src/@christiandavid/gatsby-theme-byfolio/contentJSON/about-me.json” file, for example:

[
  {
    "subtitle": "About Me!",
    "content": "I'm a <strong>Software Developer</strong>"
  },
  {
    "subtitle": "Experience!",
    "content": "I started developing software from <strong>2004</strong> working in several companies"
  }
]
