The Masonry Image Gallery component is designed to elegantly display images of various sizes within a defined area. Utilizing a masonry layout, this component arranges your images in a visually appealing and organized manner, similar to a Pinterest board. As an author, you can easily adjust the number of columns to control how many images appear in each row and modify the spacing between images.

Usage
Do
- Ensure images are of high quality and resolution to maintain visual appeal.
- Test different column settings to find the optimal layout for your images.
- Use images with varying dimensions to take full advantage of the masonry layout.

- Organize images in a logical sequence to guide the viewer’s eye smoothly through the gallery.
Don't
- Avoid using images with poor resolution or quality as they can detract from the overall appearance.
- Refrain from using images with clashing colors or themes that disrupt the visual harmony.
- Avoid excessively large gaps between images, which can make the gallery look disjointed.
- Steer clear of images that are copyrighted or not licensed for your use.
- Avoid using very large image files that can slow down page load times.
Accessibility
- Ensure that you provide suitable alt text for the images on your cards. Alt text for images enhances web accessibility by offering a textual description for screen readers used by visually impaired users. See the a11yproject website for more information about writing alt text for images.
