Yes I’m going to do a video to show you something about an image and why you should never justify an image. Of course what we’re talking about here is putting an image to the right or the left side of a block of text and having that text ‘wrap’ around the image.
In this I’m going to assume 1 really important thing.
Your site is mobile responsive.
If your site is NOT mobile responsive you have bigger things to worry about than silly images. You do know Google is now NOT showing your site in any search results to mobile users right? And you know that probably more than half your traffic comes from mobile right?
REMEMBER: We are in a “Mobile First” world. Even if you are using your desktop for most things the world around you isn’t.
WATCH THE VIDEO
Can you see the difference that would make for a mobile user? And really, if you have great images why not give them the full screen? I know a lot of people just never thought about how this could look to mobile users and that’s ok – let’s all just start doing it better from here on out.
Oh, and here’s a picture of one of my dogs just for giggles.

Does that all make sense?
