What if Websites Were People…

A while back I heard Paul Boag talk about how websites should have persona’s while you design them. Although I don’t think is exactly what he had in mind, but I thought it made for a fun idea for a post. What I did was visit some of my favorite websites and pick out people that seemed as if they were real life incarnations of the website themselves.

What do you think?

      His person is actually the main character from the movie “The Spirit” because his website used to be just like the movie poster.
