Chapter 7 Reading


I think that the design of a technical document is as important as the content itself. A reader may disregard the information if it is poorly designed and presented. The audience and purpose of the document also plays an important role in the way a document should be designed. I think that the proximity, alignment, repetition and contrast are the key essentials of the document design. Proximity is the space between elements within the document. Other essentials are the variation between lowercase and uppercase, line spacing and font styles.
