Design 101 for Tech Writers Forced to Make Design Decisions
Hugely important to user experience isn’t just the content, it’s how it’s presented.
Join Scott Abel, The Content Wrangler, and Nate Pacelli, Director of UX at Jorsek Inc., makers of easyDITA for this webinar that looks at some key principles of design that content developers should know for when they inevitably need to make design decisions.
Ever been part of a small team where, as they say, you need to wear a whole bunch of different hats? It’s pretty common across the techcomm industry, so it makes sense for technical content developers to have some design knowledge for when they need it in a pinch.
That’s what Nate is here to show you. Design doesn’t have to be a point of dread if you’re a technical writer. On the contrary, with some design principles in your quiver, you’ll be that much more ready when the hat switch comes.
