I cannot find a definition. In the language of humpty-dumpty, how can they be used and what are the advantages of using them? I am new to this. Thanks in advance.
Hi there,
good question :) The design term refers to what normally is Large Image with some content over it such as a Title or Call to Action you see below the Site Header / Navigation on a site. But those designs vary from site to site.
In GPP we have header elements that allow you to create them dynamically:

The advantage of those is you create a single header element, that displays the featured image as a background and can include the post title / post meta ( as well as other stuff ) and dynamically display this across your site. So one header element can be created that will be dynamic for all your Posts for example.
Thank you. Just what I need. Very Helpful.
You're welcome.
Just to let you know there is also the Block Element:

Currently it doesn't do dynamic content - but that will be available in next release.
