Excerpt

This is the introduction, it shouldn’t be more than 5 lines.

Content & Formatting

Add your content in the form.

Happy formatting:

  • H1 : big titles (we almost don’t use it)

  • H2 : titles

  • H3 : questions in interviews & subtitles in articles

  • H4 : context elements (such as This article was translated by XX)

  • H5 : highlights ( 1 or 2 per article ) - the things that you should absolutely remember

  • H6 : button (it was created for case studies, but might be useful for the magazine if we want to introduce a downloadable report for example)

  • Cc : quotes in blue

Pictures

  • No text on the picture

  • No filter

  • Colored pictures work better than black & white

  • Abstract pictures are used for case studies. For the magazine, we recommend pictures with people's faces or at least figurative pictures.

  • Size guidelines : 16:9 or 2:1 ratio - w1280 - under 400ko

DON’Ts

DOs - YEAH !

Use full screen pictures - minimum 700 px large

→ Use Google Images and the “find other sizes” function

  • Pictures should always centered

  • The caption should aligned on the left
