Developing a new "block design" and image sizes

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi,
i have two questions:

I would love to display blocks in that new “are” design (inspired by Pinterest. I understand we would need to develop it, but could you please give me some pointers on how to do it?
At the very minimum I would like the title of the post to be on a solid strip below the image without any overlays on the image. (maybe there is something I could do in “grid” block about it?)
Ideally I would like cards to be of different sizes (pretty much like you have in the block 8) just with titles on a solid strip under the photo and with some margins between the posts.

Question about image sizes:
we would like to use “ad” options to put our own images of sponsored projects. We would like and mix them in amongst other blocks as much as we can. What are the image sizes wo that they fit with the overall design. E.g. how long is ⅔ of a screen (if i select that option in columns on the main page) or how tall is one section in block 21? – so if i place our image to the side of that block they visually line up?

Thank you!

Hi,

If you want to add your own custom block coding skills are required. You can use the theme api system: https://forum.tagdiv.com/td_api_blockadd/
As for the difference between the 2 themes:

Both themes share the same core so their functionality and performances are similar. The main differences are in design/appearances and the content area width which slightly differs from one theme to another. Newspaper’s grid width is 1068px while Newsmag’s width is 1021px and the newsmag’s theme grid has been designed to support the borders you notice between sections of a page:http://screencast.com/t/pNkgzN1Kn8Y5
Other differences are also appear regarding features, some of the blocks are present on one and missing on the other, for example you could check the Features menu items from each theme live demo and see blocks, modules, post templates… are present in each theme and the design differences – http://screencast.com/t/p87JJpieJd
Also you can check the documentation for each theme, other features that may not be presented on the live demo(for example header templates) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/wordpress-information/https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-newsmag-documentation/

You can check on our live demo all the Big Grid blocks available – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-1/
If you want to customize one of them or even create a new block you will need custom work and unfortunately the time doesn’t allow us to provide any type of custom services you will need to hire a professional developer.

Thank you!
