Abstract

Technical Writer - Document - Audience: The Technical Writer, ever-concerned with providing their audience with documents that will communicate ideas in as clear and concise a manner as possible, has relied all too heavily on the written word to accomplish this objective. This, however, is not enough and further investigation of the communication process is required. The Technical Writer, in order to create new ways to facilitate audience comprehension, must explore the visual process for more progressive alternatives. The result: fusing Language with the visual richness of Art.
