Thoughts// A great post from the blog virtualhosting.com containing several tips and observations from a variety of eye-tracking studies.

Some of my favorite tips (click 'Full Story' to read them all):
1. Text attracts attention before graphics.
4. Readers ignore banners.
7. Type size influences viewing behavior.
10. Shorter paragraphs perform better than long ones.
15. Bigger images get more attention.
16. Clean, clear faces in images attract more eye fixation.
18. Users spend a lot of time looking at buttons and menus.
19. Lists hold reader attention longer (like this one, see it works!).
20. Large blocks of text are avoided.
22. White space is good.
