Appearance is very important in almost everything we do. Advertisements and commercials are designed to catch viewers attention and draw them in. Attractive people are used as models because people would rather look at an attractive person trying to sell them something. This also applies with documents.
I never realized how much though goes into designing a web page or document until I read our assigned reading by Rundle. Nor did I realize how intricate and detail-oriented the thought process going into design was. But after reading Rundle's blog post, it does make sense that people would put so much effort into making their pages aesthetically pleasing.
I believe it is incredibly important for documents to be attractive. No one will want to read an ugly, disorganized document. Or the reader may become confused or lose interest. Good, organized documents can hold a readers interest and make them want to read it.
Sierra,
ReplyDeleteI agree that appearance is very important in all aspects of our everyday life. Advertisements, book covers, music covers are just a few examples of how we are affected by appearance daily. Like you, I never realized how much effort went into creating a design with a nice appearance until I read Rundle's piece.
