Is this thread title a joke? Or Sarcasm? I'm on an 11" air screen, and I feel like I'm looking through a very thin Letterbox, meagrely scraping together a few words of meaning before having to re-adjust my position to get more of the picture.<p>In fact, scrolling down past the title, and the header image, leaves one state of the page display to nothing but a half-cutoff flowchart, the bottom of a chin, and the rest of the picture is taken up by cleavage. Probably not the intended effect. (Edit: Like So: <a href="http://xgkkp.com/images/screenshot_mostbeautifulpage.png" rel="nofollow">http://xgkkp.com/images/screenshot_mostbeautifulpage.png</a>. I'm not going to read a page called "Women And Tech" that thinks that is a good way to target their apparently intended demographic)
Design is not just how something looks, but how it works, and this design fails miserably in that regard. Scrolling with a mouse wheel is just one of the ways you can browse through a web page. I'm a chronic page-downer; I use the spacebar to do so. I find it very difficult to track text that is moving, so I prefer to move the page one "page" at a time, reorient myself, then read everything I can see.<p>I kept paging up and down in an attempt to figure out why the page was jumping around and I was only seeing parts of photos. It wasn't until I reached for my mouse and scrolled up and down repeatedly that I figured out what was going on.<p>The "oh cool" image reveal effect isn't a good enough trade off for me to continue using a site that implements this style. I hope it doesn't catch on.
Yes, gorgeous girls...<p>And annoying design...<p>I quickly scrolled down to see if anytime it would stop with the annoying stupid pictures, but it did not...<p>And I did not enjoyed the pictures either, even thought the women on them were pretty, the effect itself was overly distracting.<p>The effect IS interesting, but I did not read it, neither saw the pictures, in fact the only thing it made me to do was waste my time commenting on how bad it is.
