For this discussion, you are going to examine the two texts linked below as to their document design. Use what you learned from the video resources for this lesson and determine which document is stronger from a design perspective. Why is it stronger? What could be done to the weaker document to make the design flow better to a readers eyes? How would you change the design of the one you consider to be the stronger document?

As always, your original post should be a minimum of 200 words in length. You should think of this as a very short paper that features an argument for one document being stronger than the other solely from the standpoint of the design of the page. What is written in the text of the document should not factor into your decision. Defend your choice, and then note what you would change about this document to make it even better and what you would change in the weaker document to make it stronger. Be specific saying, I would create more white space doesnt help your classmates learn from your posts.

You should respond to a minimum of two student posts this week after completing your own. Do you agree or disagree? Looking at the argument made by your peer, use those same points to showcase why the other project is stronger, or how you chose the same document but looked at very different factors of the design. Your responses to classmates should be a minimum of 100 words each.

Spacine and Margins The second thing you want to concern ycurself with is how spscing and margins can charge how a reader feels about a document.
