Case study summary, Pattern Paste Canonical: https://patternpaste.com/pattern/case-study-summary.html Core Patterns (https://patternpaste.com/patterns/) Gallery (https://patternpaste.com/patterns/gallery/) Catalogue access Standard # Case study summary One project told as a case study. A label and a display heading open onto a large project photograph beside five ruled facts (client, sector, location, value, time on site); beneath them three columns under heavy rules run The brief, What we did and The result, and the result opens on its outcome figure at display size. States no colour and no font of its own. ## All patterns Search patterns Loading patterns… Start here ## What to change first The photograph, the heading, the five facts, the three paragraphs, and the outcome figure with its caption. The signature moment ## The result opens on its figure Two columns of prose and then a number at display size. The brief and the work are sentences; the result column starts with the outcome at clamp(3.5rem, 8vw, 7.5rem), so the eye lands on what changed before it reads how. It survives colourlessness because it is density contrast: two quiet columns, one loud one, under the same 3px rule. Theme handoff ## What comes from where ### From your theme - The ground is base and every line of type is contrast, each a two-rung chain. Text is at 4.5:1 or better in the stock themes; the figure is large display at 3:1 or better. - The labels start on role-label, the rules on role-rule; both fall through to contrast. - The heading is off the type ladder on purpose, a bare clamp(2.5rem, 5vw, 4.75rem); the column titles and fact values are bare clamps near 1.25 to 1.75rem, the second mass. Body copy takes medium. - The typeface is your theme's. ### Set by this pattern - The photograph and the facts are 62 and 38 per cent; the three parts are equal columns. Both stack below 782px, photograph first, result last. - The photograph is 4:3 and cropped to fill, so any project shot works. Full pattern notes ## Why it works, and how it is built Open a topic for the complete design reasoning, editing guidance and implementation notes. Design rationaleComposition, intent and nearest alternatives ### Overview One finished project, told the way a builder or an architect would tell it across a table. A label and a display heading open onto a large photograph beside five ruled facts: client, sector, location, contract value and time on site. Beneath them three columns under heavy rules run The brief, What we did and The result. ### The signature moment: the result opens on its figure Two columns of prose and then a number at display size. The brief and the work are sentences; the result column starts with the outcome at clamp(3.5rem, 8vw, 7.5rem), so the eye lands on what changed before it reads how.

Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast ### What it inherits from your theme - The ground is base and every line of type is contrast, each a two-rung chain.

Both stack below 782px, photograph first, result last. - The photograph is 4:3 and cropped to fill, so any project shot works. Technical notesBlock mechanics, responsive behaviour and constraints ### The Styled look concrete-and-copper states a concrete ground #e5e3de, near-black type and rules #1c1c1b (13.3:1) and the outcome figure in copper #9b4a21 (4.8:1), in bold Helvetica throughout with tight tracking on the headings. Small labels stay in the ink. It is for a builder, a joiner or an architect. Questions ## Case study summary: common questions Does Case study summary need a plugin? No. It is built only from core WordPress blocks (column, columns, group, heading, image and paragraph), so it pastes into the block editor with nothing to install.

How many variations does Case study summary have? 2: Case study and Concrete and copper. Each is its own markup; choose one in the toolbar above the preview before you copy. Can I use my own images?

The signature is the margin: the image is a window cut in the page rather than a band across it, and the paper around it is what you notice. A small opaque plate in the picture's bottom-right corner carries the caption, so no type ever sits on the photograph. The still-image version includes an example photograph; select your own clip for the video version. States no colour and no font of its own. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/hero-aperture.html)Editorial Article footer The close of an article: a portrait of the author beside their name, the biography under both inside a currentColor slip held to the middle half of the measure, and the previous and the next post hanging off the two outer edges so the section reads as a doorway rather than a footer. The name, the biography and the two neighbours are dynamic core blocks, so they are the post's own and the preview here is sample data; the portrait is an ordinary image block you swap for your author's own. The previous and next links only resolve on a single post template, which is where this pattern belongs. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/article-footer.html)Contact Contact cover ledger A full-bleed contact cover: a display heading in the top left, and a ruled ledger of address, hours, phone and email in the far lower-right corner, label left and value right between hairline rules, with the photograph running between them. A heavy veil of your theme's contrast colour keeps every line legible whatever photograph you choose. The ledger drops under the heading on a phone. Includes a replaceable example photograph. States no colour and no font of its own. Ships with a short hand-off row on your theme's paper below it. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/contact-cover-ledger.html) #### Before you paste Requires a block theme on WordPress 7.0. Classic themes and page builders are outside our supported setup. Adaptive patterns use the block theme’s colour, spacing and typography presets; styled variations declare their own colours or type. How we test patterns (https://patternpaste.com/how-we-test/) Sample images stay in the copied blocks. Replace them in WordPress; pasting does not upload them to your Media Library. Video variations need your own clip.
