Reflection

Throughout the past eleven weeks, I have gained practical knowledge on design and publishing issues through all the discussions carried out on this blog. As a blogger, there are few matters that need to be taken into considerations before publishing to ensure effective delivery of message to the readers.

Firstly, writers must be well informed of the existing publishing ethics to ensure their writing content does not violate any legal rules and regulations. Secondly, background of audience, purpose and the context need to be taken into account before preparing documents. It is important for designers to be culturally sensitive in producing design documents. Last but not least, as explained by Kress and Van Leeuwen (2006), design documents today consist of multimodality. Hence, designers need to incorporate various elements, such as images and audiovisuals aside from texts, in their document content.

Indeed, all the discussions in this blog have given me a better understanding and insight of design and publishing matters. I hope this blog would provide useful information for those who seek to acquire more knowledge in the mentioned subjects. Thank you.
