Usage
Asset 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 an Image, heading (Typography), body (Typography), and a Secondary CTA (Link). They can be grouped together to form a list (ordered or unordered) or used on their own. Asset items come in two sizes, large and small, which are controlled by the viewport width.
Do’s
Use Asset items to highlight concisely, key points of a story or product benefit.
Use an Image that is relevant to the point you are making.
Use a Link to direct users to additional relevant information, rather than substituting a link for lots of content.
Dont’s
Don’t be overly verbose with your headings and body copy
Use Asset items as a summary to linked content - Use a Product Card, Page Card, or Teaser instead.
