The end…Reflection

Here, it comes to the end of my discussion in publication and design. Along these days, I have gained lots of knowledge in the field of issues of publication and design.

As a blogger, one needs to write ethically to avoid defamation and offensive infringement. Furthermore, a blogger are required to be sensitive to cultures and understand the principles of document design.

As a document designer, it is significant to own a good document design, as suggested by Reep, D (2006), a good document design will raise the audience interest in the document (Reep, D 2006, p.134). Furthermore, I acquired the knowledge of multimodal texts as well. Multimodal texts are texts incorporate with spoken or written and still or moving images (Walsh, M 2006, p.24).

In document design, words and pictures are significant and each of them has its own importance as stated by Schriver, KA (1997). Furthermore, a document designer has to be sensitive to the readers and understand how readers read (Putnis, P & Petelin, R 1996, p.224). One can become a successful blogger or document designer by understanding the principles of document design.
