Tile grid
The tile grid pattern contains a heading, a call-to-action button and a grid layout of tiles; it is used to show a collection of news and/or events. Each tile is a clickable, single-action item, and includes an image, title and description.
Rules for tile grid
- Must have an image or light grey background colour.
- Must not use more than six tiles in one grid.
- Must only have one tile grid per page.
- Must only be used within the main body of the page.
- Must contain one or two call-to-action buttons.
- Tile images must be 360 x 240 pixels.
- Tile titles must not be more than two lines.
- Tile description text should be three to four lines in length, or roughly 80 to 140 characters.
Tile colours
Tile colours represent different categories used. For example, in the below options, tile colours represent the following categories:
- Blue, primary: News
- Green, secondary: Featured event
- Red, tertiary: Photo of the week
Blue is the primary colour used for the most popular category. Tile grids must not include more than three category colours.
Options available
Tile grid with background image
To add a background image, attach the image using an inline style, for example <div class="tile-grid" style="background-image: url(path/to/image.jpg)">.
- The background image must be blurred, this can be done in Photoshop.
- The background image must be large, this example is 2100 x 1400 pixels.
