Images
Adding images can help bring life to the page and break up text-heavy pages, when done properly. Well-crafted photos also play an important role in bringing our brand DNA to life.
Below are examples of how to use and display images for different purposes.
Text and Image Component
Text and image component places text around the image, either beside it or wrapped around the image. On mobile the image is stacked above the text.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus scelerisque sit amet justo quis bibendum. Phasellus ex ligula, elementum vel elit sed, tempus finibus libero.
Vivamus a tempus orci, eu tristique neque. Morbi auctor dolor mi, vestibulum blandit tellus tempor sit amet. Ut libero mi, posuere sed tempor rutrum, mattis at erat. Donec ut tellus nunc. Nunc sit amet magna eu lectus pharetra sagittis. Proin tincidunt lacus eget quam rutrum, eu volutpat tortor vulputate.
