3. Choose Images with Care

Visual appeal plays an important role in keeping the users engaged therefore make sure you use nice images. Just like typography, when the image screen decreases the image sizes  change too. Use such images which, when opened up in screens of different sizes do not look bad instead stick to being visually appealing. Resolution of images plays a major role in providing the visual appeal thus making the responsive web design engaging.
