Story page templates: Lookbook

In Story, there are additional page templates you can use for certain page styles. Here are some tips for creating a Lookbook page. 

The Lookbook page template has three main content types to use:

  • Overlapping image
  • Image row
  • Text

In addition to these content types, the regular page elements are included and a sidebar menu.

Overlapping images

In the content section, choose Add content. From the drop-down select Overlapping images:

You can add one or two images in the settings:

When two images are used, the first image overlaps the the second.

Image row

The Image row content block type allows you to add up to four images on a horizontal row. The image will be sized to fit the entire main column of the page.

The sections settings only appear when you're on that page.
