Client said the images need to be responsive and go full width.

Told her that would make the images massive and we should have a limit in height a cropping enabled.

She told me it should look nice with full width images uncropped.

Fucking designers said the same fucking thing.

Client today: Hey images are huge. Make sure they look nice.

*sigh*

add border-image with flowers around those images so they look nice

"look nice" how to turn this into a precise specification?

Like @vane said, but add kittens too.

Ask for an example on another website

Pandemonium doesn't sound so bad when you consider this is as an unchanging reality.

Show them a mockup film of a prototype site on an ultrawide desktop monitor where the image is ”taller than one full screen” and how silly it looks when you scroll by it

To some extent: they might try to be helpful but they forget stuff

I struggled for years to get designers to stop thinking DesktopFirst and do a MobileFirst design - but when they got om board they went too far and had to remind them ultrawide monitors exist and desktop content widths perhaps should be limited. They thought they were just being helpful by ”simplifying the design to always be full width”

Once they saw the issue they got it

@jiraTicket I do almost everything on PC with web browser. I hate it when websites limit the content to a narrow strip in the middle. No matter how I resize the window it stays narrow. It often affects how I can consume the content.

@Demolishun I feel the same. Sometimes. But there can still be extreme limits. Like having text rendered at 800 words per line when the intent was 60.

Or tall images intended for mobible end up taking "4 full screens" on an ultrawide monitor - so you can't even see what the heck the image is supposed to be as you can only see 25% of it at a time
