... there are no simple 'right' answers for most web design questions (at least not for the important ones). What works is good, integrated design that fills a need--carefully thought out, well executed, and tested.

Brown, Tony J., Salvador, Anthony, O'Hearn, Brian E. and Anderson, Jane E. (1989): Sentence Orientation and Semantic Processing Speed: Applicability to Label Design. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 470-473.

Sentence orientation and category size were examined using a sentence verification task to determine whether the rotation of sentences would influence semantic processing. A total of 28 participants were asked to read sentences presented with five levels of rotation (-90, -45, 0, +45, +90) and two category sizes (small and large). A significant difference in the speed of sentence verification was found for sentence orientation. As the degree of rotation increased the time taken to process the sentences increased; this was especially true for vertically aligned sentences (oriented at +90 degrees). The category size variable did not yield a significant main effect. The findings of this study may have direct implications for the positioning of labels on consumer products with varying orientations.

Theisen, Charles J., Salvador, Anthony and Hoffman, William J. (1987): Development of a System Engineer Workstation. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 1421-1424.

This report describes human factors engineering participation in the design of a system manager's workstation. The project entailed the integration of 6 different keyboards and a wide variety of display subsystems into a single keyboard and 5 CTR displays. Due to the complexity of the system, a team approach to the design was taken which entailed instructing and guiding experts in the use of human factors principles in the development of designs. The results were well received by a review committee of system experts while being developed within an extremely time compressed schedule.
