Discussion

First, make sure you have read Chapter 6, “Designing Illustrations,” in The Essentials of Technical Communication and then consider the following questions.

What kinds of documents will you create as a professional in your field? Which of these kinds of documents will need to include illustrations? What kinds of illustrations will you need for these documents? In what contexts have you noticed the most helpful illustrations? The most distracting? (You don’t need to answer every one of these questions in your post–they are just meant as starting points.)

Your post should be a minimum of 250 words long. In addition to your post, to receive full credit for this discussion, you will also need to leave a 50-word-minimum comment on someone else’s post.
