Time flies.

Can't believe its almost coming to an end. Now, I'd like to share my experience and lesson I've learned this whole semester. Throughout the long and tough weeks, I have gained practical knowledge on design and publishing issues through all the discussions and research that carried out on this blog. According to Penman (1998) In writing a blog, a writer has to prepare and think about their target audience, purpose, and context  in order for the document functionality match with the readers. 

Furthermore, as a writer and blogger, there are few matters that need to be taken into considerations before you decided to publish the post.

Firstly, writers must be well informed and do a well research regarding on the chosen issues in order to ensure the writing context does not violate any rules and regulations. Secondly, writers must think of the purpose and the context before preparing the documents. It is very crucial and necessary for designers to be sensitive and careful in publishing design documents. Lastly, as explained by Kress and Van Leeuwen (2006), design documents is consist of multi-modality. He also added that images depict a meaningful message to the viewers. Hence, either the writers or designers need to incorporate various elements, like images, audiovisual, videos in their content. This statement also has been supported by Reep (2006) that mentions  

"The appearance of document design will influence the function of document ; therefore images should be include in it."

No doubt, I have learned so much in these past eleven weeks. I hope I can make this lesson useful for the next future of my life. Million thanks to Miss Jenny for her assistance and all kind classmates for being so helpful. Not to mention, I wish this blog is useful for those who are seek for publishing and design information. Thank you.
