Use grid offsets to constrain page elements to the central 8 or 10 columns at tablet and desktop breakpoints. This prevents full width objects from becoming too wide.

Grid usage illustration 2

Don't use the grid to divide and define layout within individual elements in a page design. For example, don't use the the grid to divide a card into 12 equal sections. The Element grid is designed to be used to define a page layout.
