REFLECTION

In this study of document design and publications, I've learned that there are many things that are taken for granted but are extremely important to make any publication successful. Kress and Van Leeuwen (2001) states that semiotics still play a role in today's world of globalization where the barriers and the ever shrinking lines that defines a culture slowly fades into a westernize culture. When it comes to document design, everything from the placement to the content of the document is taken into consideration and is critical in hitting the correct target audience. In today's robust and expanding world, one medium is never enough and this is also includes documents. When it comes to publication, every mediums must come into play for further support the ideal and further satisfy the needs of target audience. Many issues that may seem like ten years ago will seem like a lot today due to the every changing culture and the norms practiced by the societies of the world.
