The second meaning, which we'll address here, refers to images that depict the subject of a description and include callouts (lines or arrows with text attached) to highlight that object's constituent parts.
I think a great example of specification based on this definition would be instructions, like instructions on a test booklet for example.
A logical scheme might be to begin with major systems—frame, wheels, gears, brakes—and then describe how the systems work together or go into more detail about the parts that compose each of these systems.
I believe this is reminiscent of an essay in a way. You start with the main idea, and then breakdown evidence or "systems" to support your thesis.
The point of view or perspective from which the work was written. For instance, you may note whether the author seemed to have particular biases or was trying to reach a particular audience.
This element in particular is important to consider for the group project and projects in general. We must ask ourselves who we are trying to reach out to. What message are we trying to send?
a mindset that sees the whole as more important than its parts. In other words, when people decide to collaborate, they are deciding to set aside their individual goals for the good of the group or company they represent.
This explanation of the mindset is not only helpful but is the perfect example of what the group should be like. Working toward one goal, getting the perfected project done.
Whatever notice design you use, avoid using long strings of bold text, italics, capital letters, or combinations of these. In addition to telling readers to do or not do something, explain three things:
My prediction on why these three ought to be avoided is because they will have less of an impact if their designs are frequently present.
If you use color, use it minimally and consistently. For example, if you have black text on a white background, you might select another color for headings. You might use that same color for figure and table titles as well as the tags for notices (the actual "Note," "Warning," "Caution," and "Danger" labels on notices).
I strongly believe that this is a smart design to incorporate into the memo. However, it will not work for the infographic considering the age demographics.
Our final type of memo/email is the response to an inquiry. Most of the memos/emails you send will be informational or response to an inquiry. Response to an inquiry memos/emails address a question or series of questions—perhaps about an action, a product, or a policy.
Answering questions in the memo would be an excellent way to help the audience trust the memo, as well as better understand the meaning behind it.
In this chapter, we will look at the five most common types—progress report, meeting minutes, incident report, directive, and response to an inquiry.
After reading this chapter, I believe that a combination of these types of memos are best suited for the Project 1 memo.
