help emulating other theme layout

Hi there,
I am in the process of migrating my sites from genesis to generatepress with beaver builder.
Most of my sites are really easy, but I have one site that I can't emulate in generate press. It uses this theme: https://my.studiopress.com/themes/navigation/#demo-full
You'll see that one the blocks is raised and is overlayed higher up inside of the widescreen image above.
The site I've having trouble migrating needs to maintain this appearance. How can I achieve this in generate press?
Hi there,
will that content be dynamic or will you be creating each page separately?
Hi David,
Thanks for the super prompt reply. The pages would be created separately
If you're using the Block Editor than you could create that layout with GenerateBlocks:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/generateblocks/
It would require two Container Blocks.
The top container for the Full width image.
The second would contain a Grid Block, you can then use negative margins in the blocks setting > Spacing to pull the grid item over the top container.
This is brilliant thankyou, the plugin looks great - I didn't know about it and am really pleased it's by the same team as generate press - I'l be sure to check it out.
Out of interest, to aid my learning, what would you recommend if the content needed to be dynamic?
Thanks again,
That depends on what kind of dynamic content you are referring to.
I'd assume you'd need to create some sort shortcode for it.
