Website of the week 2

Web without words



This week's site is an unusual, not to say strange, one. Web without words takes a popular website such as Yahoo or CNN and strips out all the text leaving only the design elements in the form of graphic blocks.

According to its creator, Paul Armstrong, WWW seeks
to visually represent my core belief that hierarchy, grid systems and uniformity ultimately lead to a more natural user experience -- to show the overall structure of any website, by striping away all the distractions of text and ads and images and showing a site for what the eye unconsciously perceives.
Whatever.... It makes for interesting viewing and his personifications of the sites are damn funny too.


Thanks to Jay Hathaway at Download Squad for pointing me towards this one
