Design

For me it started with coloring in the lines, then it went to stick figures and the house on the hill with a wisp of smoke coming from the chimney. It ended with copy and paste. But whatever your own artistic abilities are, when it comes to designing documents you don't have to be Picasso.

The book talks about things alignment, including pictures that actually matter or colors that blend into the back ground. It's basically stuff we already know. It's what we all what to see in the documents we look at everyday. Provide the information clearly and professionally without be verbose or boring. Give the people what they need with clear lines and professional colors. Make the design enhance what is happening with text.
