Collage

Collage arranges a set of media cards into a grid: one large feature card with smaller cards around it, or an even mosaic. Each card holds an image or video with its own heading, text, and link. It is a preset of the flexible Section, so it shares the standard section controls.

Add a Collage

In the theme editor, open the page you want to edit.
Click Add section.
Under Storytelling, choose Collage.

The section arrives with a Collage block holding three Media card blocks. The cards show placeholders until you add an image to each one.

The Collage block

Select the Collage block in the section's blocks to set how the cards are arranged.

Layout

Layout: how the cards are placed.
- Featured left, Featured right, Featured top, Featured bottom: one large card with two smaller cards beside or below it. The name says where the large card sits. These use the first three cards in the block list.
- Two columns: an even grid built from four cards.
- Three columns: a row of three cards.
Size: Normal or Compact. Compact tightens the cards for a smaller block.
Gap: the space between cards, in pixels.

The layout decides how many cards fill the grid. Add or remove Media card blocks to match: three for the featured layouts and Three columns, four for Two columns. Extra cards wrap to a new row.

The block also has its own Size group (Width and Minimum height), plus the standard Color, Padding, Margin, and Visibility controls. See Common section settings. It starts on a Custom width, so raise or lower Max width to change how wide the grid runs.

Each Media card

Each card is a Media card block under the Collage block. Select one to set its image and content.

Media

Media type: Image or Video.
Image: the card image. Shown when Media type is Image.
Mobile image: an optional image for phones. Falls back to the desktop image when not set.
Video: the card video. Shown when Media type is Video.
Aspect ratio: the card shape. Adapt to image follows the image's own proportions. The rest are fixed: Square (1:1), Portrait (4:5), Landscape (3:2), Wide (16:9), or Custom.
Custom ratio: your own ratio (for example 16/9 or 1.5). Shown when Aspect ratio is Custom.
Overlay style: how text sits over the media. Gradient fades the lower edge dark so text reads over the image. Caption bar places the text in a band below the image.
Overlay strength: how dark the gradient is behind overlaid text. Shown when Overlay style is Gradient.
Link: a destination for the card. Set it to make the whole card clickable.

Card content

The heading, text, and any button live as blocks inside the card. Add, reorder, or remove them under the Media card in the block list. See Sections, blocks, and groups.

This card also uses the standard Color, Padding, and Margin controls. See Common section settings.

Common settings

The Collage section also uses the standard Color, Layout, Size, Appearance, Border, Padding, Margin, and Visibility controls. See Common section settings.

The Lookbook variant

The Storytelling group has a Lookbook preset built on the same Collage block, for a longer editorial run. It arrives as two Collage rows with a heading above each one:

An Accent text heading and a Text subtitle, aligned left.
A Collage set to Featured left with three Media card blocks.
A second heading and subtitle, aligned right.
A second Collage set to Featured right, again with three cards.

It is a Collage underneath, so every setting on this page applies to each row. Use it for a story told in two parts: the harvest and the kitchen, or the producers and the finished jars.

Tips

Over-image text stays readable through each card's Overlay style, not its color scheme. Gradient darkens the lower edge of the image so light text reads on top.
Give the cards in one collage a consistent Aspect ratio so the grid lines up. Mix ratios only when you want an irregular look.
Use Caption bar when the image is busy and a gradient would not give enough contrast for the text. A close-up of a cheese board is the case where a gradient usually fails.
