This section of the book primarily focused on the layout and
design of webpages and documents. The
chapter discussed ways to make your document easier to read by using and
understanding design principles: Proximity Alignment and Repetition. I think these ideas are important to your
audience. I know how frustrating it can
be when you try to navigate a webpage and you have no idea where anything is
because the maker or designer of the page has not considered these design
principles.
I found
that this section was especially useful because layout and design are not
things I think about consciously when viewing a document. After looking at
different examples presented in the book I saw how planning the page of a
document can make a huge difference to the aesthetics of your document making
it so much easier for your audience to read. This idea here shows that not only
are you words and the comprehensiveness of your piece Important to how easily a
reader can navigate your webpage or document but these key ideas to keep in
mind for the design and layout make an impact as well.
