The Mundane Can Be Made Engaging
I pulled this graphic from a blog article on Engadget’s website today.
Graphically and in a pleasing manner, it quickly gives you, the reader, some insight around what articles on the website are “Most Commented”. You get a quick feel for what’s popular, and the way they’ve done it is just, well, pleasing, interesting, colorful but not distracting.
Good to see some effort being made to both help and entice readers into reading more on a website by making the text itself more appealing. It’s encouraging to see elements of web design that are about visualizing data to help the reader (and keep them more engaged), instead of eye candy for the sake of ‘coolness’.
Hope we see more of this.
