Online publication: Monoface


Source: < http://www.mono-1.com/monoface/main.html >

Labelled 2nd top Flash website of 2010, Monoface is a site highly recommended to tickle your funnybones. Do click on the link above to have a laugh from a tough day's work.

Design Principles

Alignment:
There is no clear alignment here. Only a sidebar and an animated image in the centre.

Proximity:
There is no proximity as there is hardly any content to be close to each other.

Repetition:
There are only a few other pages with the same navigation bar on the left and the home button on the bottom right.

Contrast:
The contrast is outstanding with basically 3 colours - A white background, blue texts and black texts.

Design of Webpage

Visual weight:
The main visual weight here is only the image in the middle of the screen. No major text is present.

White space:
There is abundant whitespace for concentration on the main imagery of the page. This gives a very srtistic feel to the site.

Webtype:
The typeface used here is Arial font which is a sans serifs font. This is good for short texts and not recommended for long texts.

Navigation:
It is easy to navigate through the pages as the links are all in the left navigation column and i can return back to the home page when i go to another page by clicking 'back'. Page to page navigation is slower as it is a flash-based website and animation is present for graphic aesthetics.

Scannability:
For a website with such simple content, i would say, yes, it is very scannable as users can, in one glance, capture the main gist of everything.

Readability:
High readability
