This project has three parts:

Part A: Create a usable table of elements you can use in document design

Part B: Redesign a poorly designed document (provided for you)

Part C: Write a reflection about what you learned and about your design choices when redesigning the poorly designed document.

Part A: Create a usable table of elements you can use in document design

Include a minimum of 10 items. You decide which items you want to include. You may organize and design the chart anyway you like but you should include the following:

· Name of the design tool

· Description of the design tool you write in your own words

· How the element is is used in document design

· How it helps the reader

· Clean hyperlink to some information about it

Things to consider:

· Use what you learn about design to design your table.

· Use an informal writing style.

· Write all material in your own words.

· Write in fragments, rather than full sentences.

· Align your text for readability.

· Use parallel structures when writing.

Part B Redesign a poorly designed document. In Blackboard, you will find a folder of poorly designed documents about time-management techniques. Choose one and apply what you know about document design to create an easily readable, appealing document that your readers—and you—can use.

Part C: Reflect on your design and repurposing decisions Write an informal reflection discussion the design choices you made when writing.
