25/75 Image and text component

The 25/75 image and text component is used to draw the user’s eye to key information and navigation links, and aid comprehension by pairing content with illustration/imagery.

When used in conjunction with half width link blob, it can help create a hierarchy of child pages or other content on the page, or can help feature a particular link over others.

Use case

When to use

  • When a call-to-action, leading users to a deeper page in the section, needs a visual highlight on the page.
  • When an image or illustration helps users better understand the purpose of content.
  • Can be used for an even or odd number of items and may imply a hierarchy of information given the list style format.

When other options are better

  • When content doesn’t require imagery. Suggest using the half width link blob pattern instead.
  • When there are multiple paragraphs of copy

Behavior

At breakpoints below 601, the two-column pattern transitions into a single column and stacks each instance in Z-order.
