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.

...

  • No character limit, but keep the length within reason. Typically, modal content spans 3 to 6 short paragraphs or chunks of content.
  • 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

...

  • Circle crop photo
    • Square photo with face centered; use a headshot or another type of photo where the person is facing the camera
    • Dimensions: 500x500px or 1000x1000px
    • jpeg file
  • Full-width photo
    • Standard horizontal photo; use a portrait or environmental shot
      • Dimensions - : 2400x1600px
    • jpeg file
    • Face should be in top 1/3 of image so it doesn't get covered by text at the bottom
    • We can add vertical images to make the cards taller, if desired. But all photos for cards in the same row/block should have the same dimensions.

...

  • These are standard sections for our custom blocks.
