author-card

Update (11/12/2019)

A blue header that appeared to be a link on top of a more-link molecule was confusing people. We have removed the more-link molecule and changed the header to be the actual link. This did not require a new release of the design system, but will require a template change and only affects the version included at the bottom of story pages.

The author card should appear directly underneath the related stories organism, if it is rendered, or directly under the story body if it is not.

As the organism compresses to fit smaller screens, the icons should wrap under the author’s name and still right of the thumbnail. The biography uses the summary molecule and shoudn’t deviate from the defaults. Also, the author’s name should be made a link and shown in the standard byline style.

Author Bio Page Version

The new author page has a slightly alternative look to accomodate the additional space and give more prominence to the journalist.

Example

SPORTS REPORTER

Aaron Moody

Aaron Moody is a sports and general reporter for the News & Observer. Here is a second sentence for the bio because it will probably be longer than this. Maybe even longer I don't know.

HTML

The structure for this element is using many of the same classes and concepts from the inline author-card, but it is slightly different. Despite many attempts to keep the structure the same, it either didn’t work or the CSS became overly complex.

This version does utilize a media breakpoint, since it is only used in one way on the author bio page. That causes issues in this guide. To see how the element responds to browser resizing, use the author bio deck.
