Team cover frieze, Pattern Paste Canonical: https://patternpaste.com/pattern/team-cover-frieze.html Library (https://patternpaste.com/patterns/) Team (https://patternpaste.com/patterns/team/) Catalogue access Standard # Team cover frieze A heading row, then four tall portrait covers set edge to edge across the full width with no gutter, so the team reads as one continuous frieze. Each person's name and role sit on a small plate of your theme's paper at the foot of their photograph, clear of the face. Two across on a phone. Example portraits are included, generated and nobody real; replace them with photographs of your own people. States no colour and no font of its own. The signature moment ## A frieze of people, no gutter The photographs touch. With no gap between them the four portraits stop being four cards and become one strip, a row of people shoulder to shoulder across the whole width of the page. The faces sit high, the plates sit low and line up along one edge, so the eye runs across the faces and then across the names. Theme handoff ## What comes from where ### Theme and pattern Inherits: every colour, the typeface, the spacing scale. Decides: the grid (four columns, each at least 10rem, gap zero), a tile height of max(34rem, 40vw) (never vh), so the tiles stay tall and narrow at 1920, the plate's inset, and a focal point at 30% height so a wide tile crops below the head, not through it. The section heading is display type, a bare clamp() off the theme's ladder, because its size against the frieze IS the composition; names are on the ladder at large. At 820 the four tiles stay in one row; at 390 they go two by two, still with no gutter. 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 A team section: a heading row at your content width, then four tall core/cover portraits in a full-width grid with a block gap of zero, so the photographs meet edge to edge. Each cover carries a plate at its foot with the person's name and role. ### The signature moment: a frieze of people, no gutter The photographs touch. With no gap between them the four portraits stop being four cards and become one strip, a row of people shoulder to shoulder across the whole width of the page. The faces sit high, the plates sit low and line up along one edge, so the eye runs across the faces and then across the names. Make it yoursVariations and the edits to make first ### Variations - Title in the frieze: the heading row is gone and the heading becomes the first tile, an empty cover under a 100% contrast veil with base type, so the section is one strip: a title, then three people. With the veil at 100 the ground under the title is contrast whatever image a buyer adds. Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast ### What it inherits, what it decides Inherits: every colour, the typeface, the spacing scale. Decides: the grid (four columns, each at least 10rem, gap zero), a tile height of max(34rem, 40vw) (never vh), so the tiles stay tall and narrow at 1920, the plate's inset, and a focal point at 30% height so a wide tile crops below the head, not through it. The section heading is display type, a bare clamp() off the theme's ladder, because its size against the frieze IS the composition; names are on the ladder at large. At 820 the four tiles stay in one row; at 390 they go two by two, still with no gutter. Technical notesBlock mechanics, responsive behaviour and constraints ### Why the type is legible on a photograph It is not on the photograph. The name and role sit on a plate grounded in role-plate, falling to base, with role-plate-text falling to contrast as the text: judged on the plate, contrast on base, 4.5:1 or better in any theme honouring the contract. The cover has no veil (dimRatio 0), so the face stays a face; a contrast veil heavy enough to carry type on the image would have turned every portrait to grain. The cover states its own text colour so core's white default never applies. ### What a buyer changes first The photographs: select a cover and choose Replace. Portraits with the face in the upper third crop best. Then the names and roles; keep a role to two short words, since it is set in tracked capitals in a narrow tile. ### Included images The copied markup includes generated example portraits of nobody real, served from public URLs so they stay visible after pasting. Select a cover and choose Replace to use your own Media Library files. See image credits (https://patternpaste.com/image-credits/). Pasting an image URL does not import a Media Library attachment. 18KB of core-block markup, 4 blocks (cover, group, heading, paragraph), and nothing else: paste it into the block editor and it becomes editable blocks wearing your theme.

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.

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.
