Flowchart nodes

  • Word Shape Theory
  • It's not true that UPPERCASE TEXT is harder to read than Mixed Case Text or lowercase text.
  • ... But people aren't as used to reading uppercase, so they read it more slowly. Also, it's perceived as SHOUTING, so use sparingly.
  • Saccade and Fixation
  • Our eyes move in quick, sharp jumps as we read text (not fluidly). Our eyes mostly jump forward, but also look backward occasionally. 
  • Saccade = when your eye jumpsFixation = moment of stillness
