Usage #

This section includes guidelines for designers and developers about the usage of this component in different contexts.

Do #

Always add the name of the person using the name property.
For the best results, use square images or images cropped into a square.
Use the avatar to represent a single user, pet or entity.

Don’t #

Try to avoid using landscape or portrait images as avatars. Let users crop their images before or after uploading if possible.
Don't use an avatar when an icon is more suitable, for example when denoting groups or "things".
