30 Web Designs that Fully Embrace the Hero Image
The Hero image trend in the web design industry has developed so much over the past few years that the vast majority of new designs feature some kind of large introductory photograph. These huge background images have been dubbed hero images, a term that has been adopted from the print industry where page filling images are commonly seen in magazines. Hero images prominently fill the screen to wow the user, often only accompanied by a heading or a sentence and a single call to action such as a sign up form or button links. Today’s roundup showcases 30 sites that fully embrace the hero image, granting the maximum amount of space possible to this design feature and shifting all other content thousands of pixels down the page.
They are all well designed websites. You have to be really good with JavaScript or Jquery to pull that off
Thanks again Chris. I was suffering from designer block on a current project today and this selection really helped to inspire me.
Chris this is awesome, thank you so much for sharing.
These are great, full screen large images are so popular now. Glad to see some great responsive design in the mix. Thanks for the share though. Are any of these wordpress templates?
Asana is quite a nice example of a mainstream, more ‘functional’ site which employs this approach too.
