The Eyes Have It

A dermatology image atlas from Johns Hopkins University that has more than 2800 images. Although it’s a great resource, it’s not for those who are easily rendered queasy. The image to the left of a typical child’s water-based tattoo is one of the tamest on the site. At a previous job, I ruined more than one lunch by accidentally stumbling across the wrong image in a dermatology textbook while working on projects related to an anti-baldness medication. Sometimes visual communications shouldn’t be quite so visual.

This site is particularly notable because it has an unusual graphical user interface that’s actually a graphic. Rather it’s a homunculus that assists in finding images related to a particular part of the body. Worth a visit just to give this a spin.
