Color
"Our brains are hard-wired to notice color. The way that our brains interpret these colors psychologically can have a tremendous impact on the way we feel or react to a product. "
FC&CO: Cereal Box Design: What to Consider
"Some marks include bleed marks, which tell the print how much beyond the crop mark the artwork goes. Files typically leave a tiny amount of bleed so that even a minuscule error in cutting doesn’t result in white edges. Bleed marks are usually skinny lines.
Crop marks, or trim marks, are related and are typically hairline rules like bleed marks but indicate where to cut the final printed product.
Color bars or circles get added to the file representing CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key) in various grey-tone increments for color accuracy. A registration mark also gets used for color accuracy and alignment—frequently, it's a crosshair graphic that makes it easy for printers to spot misalignment."

Food for Thought - How to Use the Nutrition Facts Label
"Understanding the Nutrition Facts label on food items can help you make healthier choices. The label breaks down the amount of calories, carbs, fat, fiber, protein, and vitamins per serving of the food, making it easier to compare the nutrition of similar products. Be sure to look at different brands of the same foods—nutrition information can differ a lot. For example, one brand of tomato sauce may have more calories and sugar than another brand for the same serving size."
CDC: Diabetes: Food Labels
"The serving size is not a recommendation of how much to eat or drink."
"Serving size serves as a good communication tool for understanding nutrition data and controlling portion sizes, if understood and used wisely."

"Most recommendations for portion sizes are given in cup measurements. But you’re probably not going to measure all of your food. Instead, check out our portion size guide that matches the portion recommendations for different foods with objects you are probably familiar with. When you’re deciding how much of a food to eat, try to match it to the size of the object."

What you see isn't what your brain gets
"You can influence what people see, or think they see, by the use of shapes and colors."
People believe that things that are close together belong together
"If you want items (pictures, photos, headings, or text) to be seen as belonging together,
then put them in close proximity."
It's a myth that capital letters are inherently hard to read
"We do actually read uppercase letters more slowly, but only because we don’t see them
as often. Most of what we read is in mixed case, so we’re used to it. If you practice reading
text in all capital letters, you’ll eventually read that text as fast as you read mixed
case."
Peripheral vision is used more than central vision to get the gist of what you see
"Although the middle of the screen is important for central vision, don’t ignore what is
in the viewers’ peripheral vision. Make sure the information in the periphery communicates
clearly the purpose of the page and the site."
