Summary

Resolved critical mobile layout issues with the event-banner block where the header content was completely misaligned with the background image, and created a new standalone event-cta block to replace embedded CTA functionality.

Initial Problem

• Mobile Header Completely Broken: Poor spacing and alignment between text content and background image on mobile devices
• Adobe Logo Positioning: Logo was positioned too high and getting cut off by the red rectangle area
• Content Misalignment: Text elements not properly positioned within the dark background area
• Embedded CTA Limitation: CTA functionality was embedded in event-banner, preventing reuse at bottom of page

Issues Fixed

Event Banner Block

• Background Image Alignment: Resolved severe misalignment between text content and background graphic
• Desktop Proportions: Fixed banner height from 600px to 472px to achieve proper 1200x472 aspect ratio
• Background Scaling: Implemented proper background-size: cover scaling to prevent image distortion
• Content Positioning: Moved content to proper position within dark background area
• Typography: Increased subtitle font size to 22px on desktop for better readability
