I know 5 years is a lot for a digital standard, but flexible layouts are easy. The only reason you should have a static aspect ratio in the first place is that you have a grid somewhere, and that implies that people are gonna spend time or money on at least 10-20 images, which is too much work to have your users redo or throw away because of your indecisiveness.
How to vertically center in css..
Thanks for the suggestion Google.
Image aspect ratios are standards. Please don't invent one if you can't commit to the number, the feature, and the app for 5 years.
I don't want to design a custom header image for my Google Doc just so Google can remove the feature in a few months. A company that plays as fast and loose with features as Google should just have a dynamic layout and make room for whatever image I have on hand.
