Three Posts and a Question

-White says that before ever creating a design, one must consider how the design evolves from basic relationships to more complex relationships. We must start the design process by studying and evaluating every aspect that will go into the design: what is being said, why it's being said, and who is going to read it. The we must develop a plan to suit the individualized needs to each design in order to successfully convey the given message to the intended audience.

-Flower states that readers employ structure to read a document. which is especially important when readers want to use a document beyond just being able to understand it. It seems that the more a person is interested in a document and the more that person directly connects to that document, the more she will need structure to utilize it sufficiently.

-Kostelnick discusses how readers are often unaware of the aesthetic judgments embedded into our consciousness, which ultimately influence whether we like or dislike a particular design. What is particularly interesting about this idea is that readers acquire their aesthetic sensibilities via acculturation throughout their entire lives often without ever being aware of it. This idea was proven in Kostelnick's example of Tinker's research, where he found that the readability of typeface directly correlated to its "pleasingness" to readers.

Question: Flower's research explores how to revise a federal document to make it more readable for the general public. Is there really a way, however, to make such a document readable for the masses, while retaining all of the information it needs to cover and eliminating loop wholes?
