This task allowed me to gather all of my learning in writing and designing throughout the semester to create an information product for users. In doing so, I have produced this booklet which expresses my learning over the semester on the importance of both writing and designing to meet the usability, suitability and readability of the user. Through both writing and design elements in the product, I have allowed myself to create both an impact and unity within text and images.

Throughout
the designing aspect of the project, I learnt many things that allow user
communities to be able to read an information product. I was able to
learn how to implement Gestalt theories and other principles into design to
create an information product. I also learnt about the importance of
typography, colour, graphics, images and layout and how a combination of all of
these creates unity. I was lastly able to acquire the knowledge to create impact in order to draw the reader’s attention. Bearing these lessons in mind I hope to use this
as experience in order to work and improve my design in the future.
