It really is amazing the amount of information most people can absorb quickly if it's organized effectively. The 2 screens linked below illustrate this...
Yahoo Desktop1:
Yahoo Desktop2:
Differences between the first and second screens:
- 4 main content groupings: the search field, sidebar, main content area and tag cloud
- Data grouped to align with user goals like music, photos and documents
- Icons are used effectively to break up the different groups with the main content area
- Even fonts are used to group similar items with categories
[Proximity, shape, size and colour are all examples of some of the visual cues we'll use to group related things together.]
