Come to the end...

Overall, I do benefit from the moment of blogging; as this web-blog assignment create a better understanding on elements in document design and layout by apply these theories to practice through this blog.

Below are some of the important fundamentals that I gathered in the process of creating and maintaining my blog:


  1. Proper amount of white space were devoted for easier readability and providing rhetorical clues on how to navigate the content (Schriver 1997, p. 376).
  2. Images are placed to provide visual aids and related materials flanking with proper hyperlink to help readers have a better understanding (Nielson 2000).


In order to be a serious blogger, I need to be sensitive towards cultures and some design issues as they were well influenced by audience and the purpose of the blog. Also, I understand that it is significant to write ethically in order to avoid defamation and copyright infringements.
