Drawing the Mexican flag in HTML can be a surprisingly easy task! While the red, white, and green may appear daunting at first, with a few simple steps you can proudly display the flag in HTML with ease. From utilizing hyperbole and modifier words to adding emotional triggers and metaphors, even the non-coding enthusiast can take part in this creative pursuit.
Section 1
Start by opening a blank text editor, as you’ll be solely be utilizing HTML language. Create a
tag and then assign it a ‘Mexico’ id, as this will be important later when defining the colors. Structure the div element by writing
and finish it with a closing

. Now you have the foundation to display the Mexican flag!
Next, find the hexidecimal values for each color in the flag. Hexidecimal is a number system used in HTML and you’ll want to apply these values to obtain the exact shades used in the Mexican flag. The red and green would be #B22234 and #009432, respectively. Last, but certainly not least, enter the white or #FFFFFF.
Once the colors are entered, you’ll need to create individual boxes to represent each shade. This calls for a

tag, which you’ll use to create three separate elements to divide the flag into three horizontal bars. Assign each color to their associated “p” tags and you’ll now have the exact shades of each color included the Mexican flag.
Section 2
Once you have the Mexican flag’s colors included, it’s time to set the dimensions and borders. Utilize the same

element create earlier and assign a width of 600px and a height of 240px. To finish off the visual appealing look of the flag, add a border: 1px solid #000000 to the
tag and adjust the size as needed.
Now that the flag has learned the code and been assigned depth, the last step is to add character and emotion. Utilize powerful poetic words and metaphors to convey the emotions the flag brings to many. Include metaphors such as “the emerald field of hope” or “where freedom kisses the sky”. Utilizing these words will allow others to connect with the heart and soul of the Mexican flag.
Section 3
Now it’s time to add the text to the flag as it adds complexity and interaction to the design. With your blank editor draw a tag, ensuring to include an “id” to tie it to the individual colors and their associated

tags mentioned earlier.
The text should be written in uppercase and given a size of 16px while including a text-align:center. As with the colors, assign font-color titles to the to have them coincide with their individual colors. Red is #B22234, green is #009432 and white #FFFFFF. Last, add the text for the flag which will be written in TrueType fonts.

Finally, it’s time to complete the Mexican flag. To finalize this creative ordeal, you’ll need to include the meaning behind the graphic. This can be accomplished by including a bold and italic description of the flag’s history and importance by including HTML elements such as and to make the words pop. Use powerful words to captivate your audience and make a lasting impression.
Congratulations! You have now created the Mexican flag in HTML. It’s important to keep in mind that the country’s history and importance should be present within the code as it adds an emotional and memorable vibe to the design. With a few simple coding steps and the use of personification and metaphors, even the non-coding enthusiast can become a Mexican flag-drawing maestro.
