Organising and utilizing document design options
Thomas M. Duffy | Navy Personnel Research and Development Center
In this discussion paper, the author concentrates on the problems of modeling the design process as a means of closing the gap between research and practice in information design. He proposes a new document design model but notes that competing objectives, in particular cost constraints, may prevent the implementation of good design procedures in practice.
