In professional writing, what you say is just as important as how you say it. In other words, the design of a professional document has a great impact on how an audience receives and responds to its content. After understanding the principles of document design, professional writers can use design to set tone and mood, influence understanding, highlight important points, and increase the overall usability and professionalism of a document.<\/p>\n

This project will ask you to use a rhetorical approach to the analysis, planning, and implementation of effective document design. Specifically, you will 1) analyze and critique an existing professional document, 2) provide recommendations for improving the document\u2019s overall\u00a0design, and 3) present a revised \u201cdesign concept\u201d (or \u201cmock up\u201d) for the document.<\/p>\n

But before any of that, you must first find an existing document to work with.<\/p>\n
