Chapter 14: Designin Reader-Centered Pages and Documents

There are 6 differnent elements of communication that a reader will see when they look at a page.
1 Text
2 Heading and titles
3 Graphics
4 White Space
5 Headers and Footers
6 Physical Features

The designer has to consider the reader and the purpose of a design work. Creationg a grid on your blank page will allow you to have a visual frame to format your page. Selecting a text that is easy to read is very important. Using a typeface with strong, distinct main lines. avoiding using italics for more than a sentence at a time, and avoiding using all capital letters for more than a few words at a time, are key aspects to remember when choosing a font. The overall document should look well put together when it is finished. It needs to be well organized and appear attractive.
