Introduction

This weblog is one of my coursework for the subject Document design and Publication (DDP). This assignment enable us to acquire extra knowledge of document design elements as we are required to review and critique articles, websites and weblogs that are related to the course. In addition, we may apply all the skills and knowledge we learnt in the class to design the weblog.

I have chosen reading 2 and reading 9 from the course reader as my main readings. Reading 2 consists of two articles adapted from The Journal of Technical Writing and communication, which are ‘The design elements of medieval Books of Hours’ and ‘A visible ideology: a document series in a women’s clothing company’. Reading 9 is entitled ‘Advertising from the desktop’, written by Floyd, E and Wilson, L (1994).
