Tell me more ×  I know that a discussion was already made on
various places whether it is good to use hover on images on the
web or in mobile apps. With the rise in mobile use where touch

currently doing with new projects. Introducing more hover or
removing them?  This is one of the sites that uses hover heavily
both in web version and in the mobile (responsive) version of
the site:  I find this practice very useful especially in
portfolio sites and sites that layout images in a kind of a wall
where putting text under the image would break design and
obviously more vertical space will be required.  share|improve
