Over at Webdesignerwall they have a number of examples of a trend using large image backgrounds for websites. It’s definitely another cool way of sprucing up a website and could take it to the next level. With the availability of large monitors with higher resolutions and faster internet speed, this trend is becoming a weapon of choice for designers looking for a way out from the tiled background look. There’s a total of 80 examples on the site, so just sit back and start clicking.

Interesting idea, but does it affect how “readable” your website is? Seems like this would be industry specific and might not work well for heavy retail sites.
yeah, it’s definitely not for all sites, but it can work well for some.
