[ATTW-L] Document Design

[Timothy Amidon]

Hi Derek,

One text that my undergraduate students have seemed to really benefit from
is Kim Golombisky and Rebecca Hagen's White Space Is Not Your Enemy: A
Beginner's Guide to Communicating Visually through Graphic, Web &
Multimedia Design*.* A potential draw back is that it's a bit more focused
on the technical/functional aspects of design. So, potentially not the best
fit, if you're looking for something that's more rhetorically grounded.

Best,
tra
