DOCUMENT DESIGN

I always strive to create documents following the best principles of document design: proximity, alignment, repetition, and contrast. Documents should speak to their audience and communicate information clearly and concisely while also being attractive. In my working life and as a community volunteer I have created many documents: flyers, newsletters, advertisements, raffle tickets, posters and more. 

​

One of my favorite tools for creating these kinds of documents is Microsoft Publisher. Documents created in MS Publisher can be output to many different file types with a high quality which makes it very versatile. I can also use other document design tools like Adobe InDesign and Canva.
