Is it possible to (hover) zoom in on a gridded image, whilst not zooming the overlayed text ?

Please see here what I’m trying to recreate …

> Rude Health 2025. A totally unique festival of theatre, dance, school interventions and film in Cambois and South East Northumberland. Creativity is healthy!

I’m happy to help. Take time to see what I’ve done. You can change the position of elements as you like, even aligning text and icons in different positions.

Apologies MT - the only thing I can’t understand is why your images still zoom when you mouseover the text … you guessed it, mine don’t : (

GOTT IT ! … ‘over parent’
