Team introduction and face grid, Pattern Paste Canonical: https://patternpaste.com/pattern/team-intro-face-grid.html Library (https://patternpaste.com/patterns/) Team (https://patternpaste.com/patterns/team/) Catalogue access Standard # Team introduction and face grid An introduction occupies one side of the section, opposite a compact responsive grid of nine square portraits and names. Example portraits are included, generated and nobody real; replace them with photographs of your own people. Inherits your theme’s palette and typeface. Opens with the Dark design. Select Section colours to enable Inherit section and follow the surrounding section palette. Start here ## What you change first Replace the portraits, names and supporting copy. Duplicate a complete profile group to add a person, keeping text lengths reasonably similar. Image blocks retain their chosen aspect ratio when you replace the source. The signature moment ## A quiet introduction balances a dense nine-face wall The introduction takes roughly one third of the width and is vertically centred beside a dense three-by-three wall of faces. The names act as small captions rather than competing headings. On mobile the introduction comes first, while the nine portraits keep their three-column structure, making this the most compact large-team option in the batch. Theme handoff ## What comes from where ### From your theme The typeface, heading treatment and spacing scale belong to the host theme. Every colour uses a fallback chain. The default Dark design inverts base and contrast. The Section colours variant uses base and contrast in their ordinary roles. Body copy targets 4.5:1 contrast; large display text has a 3:1 minimum. WordPress render checks measure the actual theme colours.

Design rationaleComposition, intent and nearest alternatives ### Overview An introduction occupies one side of the section, opposite a compact responsive grid of nine square portraits and names. ### The signature moment: a quiet introduction balances a dense nine-face wall The introduction takes roughly one third of the width and is vertically centred beside a dense three-by-three wall of faces. The names act as small captions rather than competing headings. On mobile the introduction comes first, while the nine portraits keep their three-column structure, making this the most compact large-team option in the batch.

Duplicate a complete profile group to add a person, keeping text lengths reasonably similar. Image blocks retain their chosen aspect ratio when you replace the source. Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast ### What it inherits from your theme The typeface, heading treatment and spacing scale belong to the host theme. Every colour uses a fallback chain. The default Dark design inverts base and contrast. The Section colours variant uses base and contrast in their ordinary roles. Body copy targets 4.5:1 contrast; large display text has a 3:1 minimum. WordPress render checks measure the actual theme colours. ### Display type Section headings use the x-large rung, names use the label clamp, and body copy uses medium, all with clamp fallbacks. Labels use a 0.875rem to 1rem clamp and 1.4 line height. Technical notesBlock mechanics, responsive behaviour and constraints ### What the buyer gets An introduction occupies one side of the section, opposite a compact responsive grid of nine square portraits and names. The section works without the companion plugin. Replace the example people, roles and copy directly in the block editor. ### Responsive composition The introduction and face wall stack below WordPress’s mobile breakpoint. The face wall keeps three equal columns, so the nine people stay in three rows. Each person’s photograph and name stay grouped. Review the full section at 1920, 1280, 820 and 390 pixels in serif and sans themes. ### Included images The portraits are generated examples and depict nobody real. Their public image URLs travel with the copied markup. Choose Replace to use your own people. Pasting a URL does not import a Media Library attachment. See image credits (https://patternpaste.com/image-credits/). ### Dark and Section colours The default Dark design is used in the library thumbnail and on first opening. Its inverted background and text remain paired, so Inherit section is intentionally unavailable in this version. These are theme colour chains, not hardcoded colours. Select Section colours, then Colour → Inherit section, to remove the named background and text colours and use those of the surrounding section. 13KB of core-block markup, 6 blocks (column, columns, group, heading, image, 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. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/contact-cover-ledger.html) #### Before you paste Requires a block theme on WordPress 6.7 to 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.
