Aside

The <Aside> component is a wrapper component that adds styling to make the text display smaller than the default body text; using body-long-01 and adds the correct top border styles.

It should only be used within a <Column> component with specific parameters. <Column colMd={2} colLg={3} offsetMd={1} offsetLg={1}>

Warning: If you use multiple Aside components on a single page, you need to provide an accessibility label so that someone using assistive technology can quickly understand the purpose of the landmark. See Mozilla Developer Network’s documentation for more information. Props for accessibility labels are described in the Props section below.

Example

It is more important than ever that we own our own ethos, make palpable our brand values, and incorporate an instantly identifiable IBMness in everything we do.

Without aesthetic, design is either the humdrum repetition of familiar clichés or a wild scramble for novelty. Without aesthetic, the computer is but a mindless speed machine, producing effects without substance, form without relevant content, or content without meaningful form.
– Paul Rand

Aesthetic is defined as the philosophical theory or set of principles governing outward appearance or actions.

  <Aside>
    **Good design is always good design.** What we borrow from our own design
    history is not a mid-century aesthetic in stylistic terms, but the modernist
    attitudes and approach used at the time.
  </Aside>
