- Don’t place elements like washes, text or icons on Avatar.
- Don’t use Avatar to represent metaphorical ideas, like a Board.
For general Avatar best practices, refer to the Avatar web documentation.
Use round Avatars in the appropriate size for your need.
Scale or change the shape of Avatar. Instead use the designated Avatar sizes and style.
Use the collaborator’s name nearby or in an alternative view if possible.
