The Adobe web site main page is divided by sections. On the top left of the page, one can find seven tabs which includes: products, solutions, learning, help, downloads, company and store; with just a click on each tab, you can access more detailed information. On the top right of the page, you can easily find a “search” engine, my adobe, my orders, my cart and a sign in link to returned customers. On the middle of the page, you will see a big advertise featuring one of the new products from Adobe; on this case, the site is introducing the “Adobe touch Apps”. The bottom of the page is also divided in four different sections: learning, help, download and products and solutions. Each of these sections is a short cut to access the information in a quick and easy way.
According to Gurak and Lannon, “Chunking is an organizing technique in which you divide the information into small units or modules based on the topics or type of information that will be covered in a given section” (Gurak and Lannon, 2007, p.47). The Adobe site shows a good example of “chucking” organizing technique. After clicking on the “download” tab at the main page, I was directed to the page that shows the products available for download. There are twelve products well displayed on the page, which I assumed that are the most popular products.
The products are organized in two columns with six products in each column. In addition, the name of the product is on the right side of each square and has a link “Buy/ Try/Learn more” that only appears when you pass the mouse over the name of the product.
Regarding to the audience, this website is highly visited by any people who has access to a computer such as a beginning home compute...

In order to have the site more organized for vision impairment users, I would recommend the use of more dark colors and change some of the font size or style to distinct the main content area from the other links; based on Aditi’s article, “you can generally assume that they will see less contrast between colors than you will. If you lighten the light colors and darken the dark colors in your design, you will increase its visual accessibility” (Aditi, 2011).

Graphics could add value in the physical appearance of a brand and increases its aesthetics quality. Moreover, in many situations graphics could create a positive mood and could match with or satisfy the lifetime hidden aspirations of a consumer (P R Smith, 2004). An important role of packaging graphics is that they gain attention of consumer (Pinya Silayoi M. S., 2004). A qualitative study done by (Tobias Otterbing, 2013) on textual and pictorial elements of packaging shows that textual elements of packaging are noticed if they are placed on left side and pictorial elements of the packaging are noticed if they are placed on the right side. This in effect indicates that not only attractiveness of graphics, but the proper placement of pictorial and textual element of packaging is also necessary in order to be noticed by consumers. Graphics help consumers find the brand of their choice by cutting through clutters at retail stores and if they do not have any strong preference of a brand then graphics at least gain their attention to consider a particular product for evaluation (Pinya Silayoi M. S.,
In the day and age of the 21st century, technology has revolutionised and assisted the planet, providing humanity with knowledge and experiences that twenty years ago would not be thought possible. Due to the ever - modernising world, people must adapt to these new advances, to be able to coexist and understand how to utilise, maintain and improve the use of technology. The Internet plays a significant role in the contribution of knowledge, education, information and entertainment. For this reason, the Internet must be accessible and readable to all audiences, websites must be easy to navigate, and adhere to the needs of users. The intent of this essay is to analyse a website in terms of its purpose, context, communication techniques and whether it meets the needs of the intended audience.
The audience of this paper is the world wide web. This is an extremely general group of
There are several forms of technical writing. Each form is important to business success and influences their viability and success. Those unfamiliar with how effective technical writing can improve a company’s performance and overall satisfaction of its employees and vendors, often overlook that importance. The data are clear – companies that focus on effective communication succeed. Rich Maggiani, a communications consultant in Essex, Vermont asserts that the return on investment for communications focused companies is 57% higher than those exhibiting poor communications skills. He further states that those companies who lose sight of effective communication can lose up to 15% of their market valuation (Maggiani). Organizational studies further solidify that not only is profitability improved, but also employee retention is improved (Watson, Wyatt & Company). Let us explore some of the ways that technical writing as communication can be effective tools. Throughout this exploration, we will look at three distinct methods of technical writing that businesses use to communicate.
Effective technical writing is essential in the workplace especially in my nursing career. It is important throughout our interactions in any aspect of our daily life. Looking back at the readings, learning exercises, and assignments for the past five weeks, this class helped me build more confidence and competence in communicating in my work place. I became mindful of the format and content of my documentation and how I communicate with my patients. I find the concept of Audience Analysis memo is beneficial to my job. Everyday, I deal with culturally diverse patients and knowing how to analyze and approach my specific target audience affects the efficiency of conveying my message such as, educating family members and giving instructions before procedures and after discharge. Moreover, I realized that most of my documents that I present to my patients are informative and persuasive at the same time like when I am presenting them consents and waiver forms to perform a procedure.
