Once a Spice Shop, always a Spice Shop?

Circular / Amorphous Visuals
If you want to use circular images the only way in which you can really do that is with the crop tool - the actual frame preset will only give you a perfect circle if the image itself is a perfect square. Otherwise you will get ellipses, and my advice in general is to avoid ellipses unless you are making a very old fashioned design.

Using wide and narrow visuals
Since browsers are horizontal narrow display mechanisms, it makes a lot of sense to use the visual material placed inside a webpage in a horizontal narrow format as well. You would obviously need to have material that lends itself to such crops, however these are not too hard to find since this approach of embedding visuals into web content is quite widely used. Below I am showing you several examples, the first 2 with images and the other 2 with videos, one each aligned with the text columns, and the others stretched to the edge of the center page.
Again, when we embed these inside a text flow the space we leave from the top and bottom should be roughly that of a paragraph break space, and not more, so that we do not break the text flow.

Videos as text visuals
This is really a part of the section above for using wide and narrow visual material, however I also want to make a point for using videos instead of pictures for visual text insets. The things to keep in mind when you do this is to select videos that will not be too distracting (too fast paced, too colorful etc) for someone who is actually trying to read something that is right next to the video. And another good idea is to place short clips and have them stop instead of looping so that the motion, no matter how subtle it is, completely stops at some point.
Obviously, the videos do not have to be in this wide narrow format only, they could be other ratios as well. However, be aware that the bigger their size gets, the more distracting they may be, so sticking to something narrow like this may not be a bad idea.

Images as insets with captions
An embedded visual can also be used very effectively with a caption that is placed either underneath it or inside an inset that partially covers it. Below I am showing you an example of the latter.

Creating variable repeaters
Continuing with the theme of typographic image insets we can also create pages that consist of various configurations of the basic inset applied in a sort of "repeater". Unlike the Wix repeater however (also known as a "List"), these would have to be designed individually, of course.

Putting text inside images
Use the search term "copy space" added to whatever visual it is that you are looking for. This search will give you images where the photographer left a good amount of empty background to be used by a graphic designer to place text. The best place to look for such "copy space" images is freepik, since this is a portal that is specifically set up to provide material to designers.
And one word of caution to Turkish viewers / readers of this site: On all of these resource or photography portals you will need to do your search in English in order to get decent results. Simply google translate your search terms into English and then put them into the portals' search engines.
In the first example below I am showing you text that is placed on a visual that has "copy space", which means that one can place the text content directly on the image.
There may however be situations where you really do need to use an image that has not been created with "copy space" in mind. In such a situation what you will need to do is to place some type of neutral color field layer between the text and the visual. A good way of doing that is to highlight the text inside the text editor itself. And that is what I am showing in the second example.
