Examples
Design
Modal open - full-width header image | |
Example 1 - Modal open | |
Example 2 - Modal open - 50/50 header image |
Use When
- Storytelling; sharing a person's profile or career background (examples: BBA Careers, Companies and Recruiters)
- Expanding on a topic (example: AI Hub page)
- You have content to fill at least 2 cards and their modals (this component doesn't look as nice when there is only one card)
- There needs to be enough quality content such that interacting with the modal feels worthwhile to the user.
- Don't just fill the modal with fluff to try to make this component work. If it is a struggle to create enough content for each of the cards, consider using a different component with less copy and/or organizing the content differently.
- There needs to be enough quality content such that interacting with the modal feels worthwhile to the user.
...
- No character limit, but keep the length within reason. Typically, modal content spans 3 to 6 short paragraphs.
- Follow web best practices for keeping content easy to digest and scannable
- Use subheadings if you include more than 2 paragraphs
- We can include a variety of content here, such as:
- paragraphs
- pullquotes
- supporting images
- photo collages
- an embedded YouTube video

DEV NOTES
* Image one and two must be horizontal, image three vertical
* Image two and three are hidden for mobile screens.
* Can use a single caption for all three images for desktop.
* The mobile caption should just be for image one, since the others are not visible at that point.
