Hero image with overlapping text box-CodePudding

I'm trying to have a hero image that has an overlapping text box but I'm struggling to get it to work the way I'd like. I can't get the hero height to match the size I want without changing the grid row height to a large number. I also can't get the text box to not cover up most of the image without doing another row height with a large number.

This is what I'm trying to achieve:

Here is the code I have so far:

.shell {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 0 1fr 0;
  grid-template-rows: auto 8em 1fr auto;
}

@media (min-width: 600px) {
  .shell {
    grid-template-columns: 20px 1fr 20px;
  }
}

/* overlap */
.shell:before {
  content: "";
  grid-column: 1/-1;
  grid-row: 1/3;
  background-image: url(https://i.ibb.co/x866XdV/test-hero.jpg);
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: cover;
}

.shell-header {
  grid-column: 2 / 3;
  grid-row: 1 / 2;

  color: #FFF;
  padding: 35px 20px;
}

.shell-body {
  grid-row: 2 / 4;
  grid-column: 2 / 3; 
  padding: 20px;
  border-radius: 10px;
  box-shadow:  0px 0px 20px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25);
  background-color: #FFF;
  max-width: 80rem;
}

body {
  margin:0;
  font-family: sans-serif;
}

    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Placeat vel ducimus illo consectetur commodi ex nulla aut amet ipsum maiores itaque, iusto quam mollitia facilis consequatur tempora neque quod eligendi?</p>
  </div>

CodePudding user response：

Personally, I would go with the flex approach and absolutely-position the element you want to overlap in a relatively-positioned container.

.shell {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: center;
  position: relative;
}


/* overlap */

.shell:before {
  content: "";
  background-image: url(https://i.ibb.co/x866XdV/test-hero.jpg);
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: cover;
  background-position: bottom;
  position: relative;
  height: 300px;
  width: 100%;
}

.shell-header {
  color: #FFF;
  padding: 0px 20px;
}

.shell-body {
  padding: 20px;
  border-radius: 10px;
  box-shadow: 0px 0px 20px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25);
  background-color: #FFF;
  max-width: 85%;
  position: absolute;
  top: 80%;
}

body {
  margin: 0;
  font-family: sans-serif;
}
