Found a very interesting article on how a user reads content within your website. In this case, a study was performed which tracked eye movements across three websites. The Resulting pattern of eye movement resembled an “F” shape.

When I was in college I had stumbled across a short film on the web that just left me in awe. The film was called More and it really served to shape my feelings of what great animation could be.
I was thrilled to find that Dan Trachtenberg and someone over at slashfilm feels the [...]
