I was putting together a set of readings on basic screen layout issues today for my Intro to Web Design class today and dug up this handout, which summarizes several key issues in screen design. I converted it from the original PageMaker format to PDF; feel free to download it [88k pdf] and use it in your classes if you like. It's loosely based on Gestalt Theory, with some other issues I thought useful thrown in.
