Designing What You Write

Step 1:
Read Ch. 29 “Designing What You Write”. Answer the following questions based on the chapter.
What does it mean to think rhetorically about design? What kinds of things should you consider?
Pick one idea from the chapter that you think is relevant to your final project: Font, Headings, Colors, Visuals. Explain one piece of advice from that section that you will be able to use as you design your final project.
Under the section “Putting it All Together” there are a series of tips (in red). List these and explain each one in your own words (about a sentence or so each).
Step 2:
Pick 2 examples of the genre you have chosen to use for your final project. (For example, if you’ve chosen to write a letter, you’ll need to find two sample letters.)
One of the examples should be one that you find attractive. Analyze what makes the design effective–consider it’s use of font, colors, visuals, etc.
The other example should be the same genre, but one you find less inspiring/attractive. Analyze what you think doesn’t work or could be improved about that example.
Use the chapter to help you.
Post a link or screenshot to each of your samples.
