Where Every Word Is Defined By a Picture

Ever thought what your dictionary would look like if every single word in it was defined by a picture? No? Well there are some UK designers who are daring to go where no one has ventured.

Ben West and Felix Heyes have released a project that provides a Google image for all the roughly 21,000 words in the English dictionary.

To be known as ‘The Google Book’ as it’s known, every description will be defined by the first image that comes up in the search. 

“It’s really an unfiltered, uncritical record of the state of human culture in 2012,” Ben West told Creative Applications on a post done by Mashable, “…I would estimate about half of the book is revolting medical photos, p**n, racism or bad cartoons.”

The dictionary is not yet in circulation though.
