<h1>CSS-only art direction demo</h1>
<p> This is a CSS-only implemantation of responsive images and art direction. There are four classes: art-center, art-top-left, art-top-right, art-bottom-left, and art-bottom-right to use in different situations.
</p>
<p> The following caveats exist for this technique:
</p>
<ul> <li>It depends on <strong>vmin</strong> and <strong>transform</strong> to make things happen. Sorry, IE8!</li> <li>The centered class doesn't really center it all the way. That needs to be fixed.</li> <li>The only breakpoint is set at 40em. There could theoretically be more added.</li> <li>A large image is still loaded on mobile. Might consider combining with a backend responsive images solution.</li> <li>I haven't tested it in anything but Chrome on Mac.</li>
</ul>
