General usage dos and don'ts
| ✅ Dos | ❌ Don'ts |
|---|---|
| Ensure the text is legible. | Do not use a background image that makes the text hard to read. |
| Images scale to fit the container they are in. This component has been created to cover a range of scenarios, and images will automatically scale to fit the container they are in. Where smaller images are required, whitespace will need to be added left and right to avoid it scaling. | |
