So in typical fashion, deadline is tomorrow and I'd better look like I've actually made an effort to collect some data rather than just make it up.

I'm designing a website and I'd like you all to look at the headings below and select which zone you as an internet user would typically expect to see them in. What would be your gut reaction as to where to go or look on the page to access or view that feature.

You could quite easily review large portal kinda sites (yahoo, bbc news, facebook etc) to collect a load of data. Also you'll probably have heard about him before, but throw in Jakob Neilsens name for some instant brownie points.

My work does this, for an extreme amount of money. Good luck with it, if i wasn't doing development i'd be doing consultancy. :)

You should see the same, or similar results, in fact, one of my works seminars has this in it, about how all websites are the same, was the one i attended in fact, really quite interesting.

Give me a shout if you want to brush over some stuff, i'm by no means an expert but i've picked up some stuff here and there from the consultants, smart old bunch of people i tell you.
