The image is 250px wide but its containing <div> is 750px wide. A quick fix is to make the <div> 250px wide.

You do not need to have the image within a <div>. You can delete the <div> and use the class design for the <img>. The CSS for the <img> can then become:

.design {
    display: block;
    margin: 4rem auto;
}
