Chapter 7: Designing Your Project

This chapter was interesting. It gives me a lot more to consider about design: white space, rhetorically relevant images, and a style sheet.
I think the most important part of this chapter is the section on discourse analysis. We have not met as a group and discussed the whos, whats, whens, and whys of Green Florida and the Bartlett Park Community Garden. Our audience was somewhat understood by all of us, and it worked out pretty well. The website provides us with an example of the how the brochure should be directed.
I think that the discourse analysis will become more important with the further development of the Drip Irrigation Guide. We have yet to answer these important questions about the guide's future:

Who will read this?
Where will they read this?
Why will they read this?
What will they already know if they read this?

The development of our design scheme and research process is going well. We have kept in contact with Shari and received valuable feedback throughout the project so far and will do so until the final products.

Three things to work on:
Determine the audience of the guide.
Design thumbnails for the guide, page by page
Intensely review the brochure's design, room for improvement?
