Adaptive images: solving the responsive image problem

Media_httpnetdnawebde_zbusn

Responsive design isn’t just a change in layout or the use of media queries here and there, it is a mind-state and an action that has clear meaning.

Responsive design is essentially saying that we care more about the content than we have in the past. In fact, we care so much that we will even optimize content to be read and viewed on devices that haven’t been launched yet.

In essence, we are trying to present information as clearly as possible and be as efficient as possible all at the same time. Here’s a common misconception; mobile first means designing as though your entire site revolves around the mobile phone. That isn’t quite accurate. Mobile first simply means to design for the simplest experience first, which often leads us to cut out overheads that we are experiencing or may experience in the future.
