Screen Real Estate Evaluation Tools

Does anyone know of any tools available for identifying and analyzing screen
real estate for web sites? I'm looking for something similar to the screen
real estate bareak downs found in Jakob Nielsens book "Homepage Usability:
50 Websites Deconstructed". We are working toward a redesign of our
university website and would like to see what percentage of space our peers
are devoting to navigation, search, recent news, etc.

I am currently using screen caputres and Illustrator (doing the percentages
in my head). Ouch.

New to Interaction Design

Hello all,

Is there any place to download a sample of a well designed software spec? When I attended the Interaction Design course at Cooper, they didn't give us examples of what a spec should look like. I've seen people on this list talking about 40+ page specs, so I wanted to see what all goes into it to make it that comprehensive. The Resource Library at ixda.org is not functional, so I wasn't sure where else to look.

Thanks.

So I know there has been some discussion on this list regarding
unrealistic job requirements at the "guru" end of the spectrum. What
are your thoughts about the same phenomenon at the "newbie" end of the
spectrum?
