Writer As Designer

Because good page designs organize information, capture attention, and expedite comprehension, layout can be viewed as an extension of the writing process.

Publishing software, such as PageMaker and Quark XPress, has made it possible for one person to write, edit, and design an entire publication. Without it, the cost of publishing a twenty-four page newsletter like the Freestone would be prohibitive.

Now, companies everywhere produce in-house newsletters to communicate with employees.
