Case Studies Number Six--yahoo.com: Iconography / Imagery

The imagery / photos add interests points on the page. There are not many photos on the home page and most of the time they are used on thumbnails for news.

I would like neither more nor less imagery since I think current amounts of photos are just right. If there are more pictures, the pages will look busy and messy which make users confuse about what they should click to go to the next page. If there are less photos, the site loses some "color" and looks very boring.

There are a lot of icons / symbols used in the site, especially in the primary navigation system on the home page. I can understand most of their meaning, but there are ones that I could not understand until I look at the labels.
