  • W asked: I'd like more information about this course and perhaps other training to design documents. I am a Technical Writer, and most of what I have produced to date has a pretty standard layout. I have never delved into the reasons behind font selection, when and where to use graphics, and generally the psychology of document layout/ design. I'd appreciate any thoughts you can provide, as this is the only "hit" that I've found in my research on document design training and education. Thank you, Will
