Info

Picto card has been renamed Picto item to reflect the fact that it’s not considered a true card in this design system.

Scope

  • Vertical Picto items.

  • Horizontal Picto items

Usage

Picto items are a non-interactive content type used to emphasise key points within the context of a larger story. Picto items can consist of of a Pictogram, heading (Typography), body (Typography), and Link. They can be grouped together to form a list (ordered or unordered) or used on their own.

Do’s

  • Use Picto items to concisely highlight key points of a story or product benefit.

  • Use a Pictogram that is relevant to the point you are making.

  • Use Picto items for specific and relevant content to the page, not peripheral content.

  • Use a Link to direct users to additional relevant information.

Dont’s

  • Don’t be overly verbose with your headings and body copy

  • Use Picto items as a summary to linked content - Use a Product Card, Page Card, or Teaser instead.

  • Link the Pictogram

Editorial 

  • The use of the list indicator will be controlled by where this component is used. Most likely set in the CMS.

Style

  • Picto items come in two modes - Not to be confused with light and dark theme:

    • Default - to be used on the default brand background

    • Inverse - To be used on the inverse brand background

  • Style variations - (not component variants)

    • Alignment

      • Start align (works with RTL Languages)

      • Centre align

    • With or without list indicator

  • Size - controlled by the viewport

    • Large

    • Small

  • Orientation

    • Vertical

    • Horizontal

Accessibility 

  • If this component is used in a list, list accessibility standards are required:
    This is not an exhaustive list of requirements

    • The user/listener is notified of the length of the list.

    • The list index is called out before the content.

    • The Pictogram is decorative and should not be visible to screen readers.

      • This can be delivered with alt=””. Assuming SVG will appear in HTML like icons currently do. The preferred picto size should be set as the height and width in the HTML.

  • The heading must come first in the DOM.
