Document Summary

Assignment #2: cite images in poster, for the peer review, you must include a colour poster but you do not have to give the professor a poster (i. e. only the analysis) Designing a document: must be visually interest and relevant, must be relevant to the audience and to your purpose, text also matters, size of font, headings, location, white spaces, bolding, italicized. If there is an order number them instead: white space allows readers to rest their eyes. Image has to contribute to meaning: do not use filler imagery, must reflect the textual content, tell a story, presenting the information in a logical way, it must make sense. Powerpoint slides: only use relevant information, use large font, have high contrast from the font to the background, make sure your powerpoint slides have consistency, 3-4 sentences maximum per slide. Three kinds of diction to exclude in professional writing: slang, colloquial, fine writing .
