When looking to grab people’s attention, a well designed document is essential. Unfortunately, many documents continue to circulate that require some serious creative inspiration. When in the throes of a creative crisis, having an information designer close by is sure to lighten the burden – as they are skilled in both technical writing and document design.
A well designed document is both beautiful and informative.

I think it’s safe to say that a well-thought-out, purposeful design will win out every time.
