  2. I think this is the current trend in web design. I always see website with full screen background on their home page, sometimes it is good but sometimes it is bad when you did not use this properly

  3. The Nina Black site is fantastic. I’m on a 27″ monitor and even at that size the scrollable first image was clear and crisp.

    The agency I work for created a similar site that uses cover on the home page.

    • There are some cases when picture says more, or better way than bunch of text. It surely is not useful for each project. It really depends on what is your priority, what your website should tell to its visitors, but I think, it is good solution for photographers, webdesigners/artists, design product landing page…
