2011 Web Trend: Full Image Backgrounds

Wednesday, January 26th, 2011

Want a show-stopper? Then hop on trend with full image backgrounds. A large scale illustration or photo background instantly grabs your viewer’s attention, adding life and creating a more dynamic and engaging look and feel. These over-sized backgrounds are great, but should be used in the right setting. Sites that already have image galleries make great candidates, think photography studio, design agency, fashion designer, illustrator, or even a picturesque resort. Beware, the most common issue with large backgrounds it that they have to conform to many different screen resolutions, so make sure you test, test, test and use an image large enough to fit the width for the most commonly used screen resolutions. Check out these images below for this new trend in action.
