TasteSpotting.com | A Community-Driven Visual Potluck
Presentation is an integral part of an enlightened culinary experience.
Some of the greatest meals weve experienced are as pleasing to the eye as they are to the tongue.
The people atTasteSpottingunderstand this maxim, having built their web community on a visual appreciation of food.
Each unit features a 250250 image of visually appealing food with a short description below.
Click through to be taken to the storys source, in this case submitted by the TasteSpotting community itself.

Even without his content, Jan Sochors website allows for a decidedly human navigation flow.
Structure aside, Jan Sochors works deserve plenty of attention.
He shows in his work the daily struggle that is life in some parts of South America.

Macalicious | Apple, Mac and iPod News
Mac users are visually-oriented by nature.
Specifically, a grid-style website layout.
Unlike most of the other sites on this list, Macalicious employs a short length grid layout.
The four columns of this website have three focused on content and one on navigation and advertising.
The result works brilliantly for this sites content.
As a result, Macalicious provides a well organized and accessible magazine to an informed, design-conscious audience.
