using filter grayscale to make an image dark

background image greyscale filter while foreground is still in colour

i had an issue the other day using a css filter which was causing all items within the element to also have that filter. using the ::before psudo class solves this issue

using transform scale in css to zoom on hover over

using a css transform will not effect other elements that surround it, so when you mouse over this div (or press it on your phone/tablet) it should scale to 1.5 times its original size.
