## Choose a featured picture 

For more information on how to pick a picture, see below.

## 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

| <ul><li>No text on the picture</li><li>No filter</li><li>Colored pictures work better than black & white</li><li>Abstract pictures are used for case studies.
