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?

    • http://www.outlawdesignblog.com Danny Outlaw

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

  • http://YourWebsite yy1993

    Cool post!

  • http://www.dan-london.com Dan London

    I’d see Google as less of Jesus and more of “Big Brother”

  • http://YourWebsite Good Dog

    Ha! This is so good and Outlaw Design Blog is most definitely The Duke. :D

    • http://www.impulsestudios.ca Kevin

      @Andy: I may be mistaken, but I believe that is “The Spirit” from the latest Frank Miller film.

      Great post, loved the Braveheart one.

    Jesus = Google is brilliant!

    Thanks for this post – I love the comparisons.

  • http://YourWebsite Derek

    Google is most certainly NOT Jesus. Bad, bad bad. Google is the devil.

    Other than that rather glaring mistake, cool list.

  • http://www.nopun.com Noel Wiggins

    I can’t help but to be impressed by the connections of the personalities of these famous icons along the side of the actual website…
