AVOID TEXT THAT STRETCHES ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE PAGE. IT MAKES READING TEDIOUS. INSTEAD, TRY BREAKING IT UP INTO COLUMNS. THE EYE NEEDS TO REST. And turn off the flippin’ caps lock!!!!

Also- no white text on a black background!

Don’t break lines up Yourself. Let the machine do it for you.

Contrast Rocks!

• Background does not interrupt text.• Text is big enough to read, but not too big.• The hierarchy of information is perfectly clear.• Columns of text are narrower than in a book to

make reading easier on the screen.
