Case Study
The Case Study Content type allows the user to add a block where a person can be associated with a description and/or a quote. The title can be linked to another section in the Terminal four CMS. Colour-wise, the borders can be adjusted, if there is no colour selected, then the university blue will be used by default.
Examples
Colour selection
The following examples make use of the university blue and teal brand colours. For more guidance on brand identity and approved colour combinations please refer to the brand guidelines.
Default Colour
This does not have a border colour selected, so it has the default university blue border colour. All fields are populated, and the title (the course) is set to be a hyperlink.
