Envision. Vision.

1. I liked how many different options were given for including text with a formal document. If I had ever included a picture or graph I had it as an appendix. And once again, depending on the field, that may have been appropriate. But I think that I may have missed out on times when it would have been a more compelling argument had I strategically placed an image within the text.

2. One visual aid in this article that stuck with me was on pg 232 referencing what percentage of your audience will read/look at which parts. I found myself only wanting to look at the pictures as well and skipping to the next page (I guess I'm not the only one). But that impressed upon me even more the importance of the picture/visual selected. A follow-up query: If you don't have a strong visual image to accompany your story (in reference to the page format on pg 232), is it better just to go with text?

3. Towards the latter part of the article, the topic of designing a web page came up. I have never done that before. For any of you out there who have done so, what sort of time commitment are we looking at? Is it something feasible to have as a class project?
