Using CSS Grid
to make breakout elements
This layout uses CSS Grid to make full-width elements without using max-width on paragraphs, negative margins, or other common hacks.
When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.— Ansel Adams
Great photos have power.
Photo can boost sales, gather interest and tell stories. Your Images can tell your viewers what your website is about before they’ve read a single sentence. Great product photos do more to sell merchandise than pages of text ever could.
But you probably already know that.
What you probably don’t know, is how to properly use images to make your website more effective. Know that such a thing is possible, and actually executing it are two separate things.
In this article, I’m going to show you how to get great photos, edit them, and make them work for you!
This is my own implementation of a concept from Tyler Sticka .
I really like this concept, as it pulls off this layout without the usual hackery like crazy max-widths, negative margins, etc.
However, it's not quite ready for production sites yet as it doesn't currently work in browsers that don't support CSS grid.
