Hm.. forms and hand outs. . .

Given what you’ve read, what seems to you most important — in general — to keep in mind while composing forms that others will have to fill in?

Make sure it is clear and is not something the filler-outer will hate filling out. I defiantly did not spend enough time on my form and look forward to tweaking it.

Given what you read, what are the 4-5 specific guidelines or suggestions that you will most try to apply as you work with designing a form?

Somethings to keep in mind and be very aware of while designing;
*we first observe similarities and differences in what we are seeing.
*we need to know what makes things different. Visual contrast.
*The weight of the design and the visual weight.
*ask yourself, is it Clear, Concise, Clever and Co-operative?

Was there anything in the readings that surprised you? Anything that you think should have been in the readings but wasn’t?

I think it was interesting to decide what is important on the form. I think its very important to talk about making these forms interesting, but not over the top crazy. They will need to be accepted by the general public.
