advertisers who are so full of their own accomplishments
(the world’s best seed!) they forget to tell us why we

Short paragraphs make for easy reading Usability experts are confirming what has long been known to newspaper editors and journalists. When writing news short paragraphs that handle one idea or concept are far more likely to be read and remembered.
9 out of 10 people only read headers The statistic above is entirely made up however I have little doubt that although the numbers may be off, the principle is valid. This is why it’s most likely the vast majority of people seeing this slide will never realize they’ve been taken for a little ride…
White spaces and margins are important Making text easy to read isn’t dependent solely on how the words and paragraphs are laid out. No less important are the surrounding and dividing spaces that allow the reader’s eyes and brain to rest, digest, and organize the content absorbed.
