 Early Eighties Design September 12, 2008
I bought this with high hopes that it would have inspirational page layouts. I often create templates for training materials, and use these types of materials for reference. In this case, I wish I could return it. This was written with early word processors in mind, I think, uses mostly cliche'd layouts, and it's all black and white.
I would refer people considering this book to purchase Robin Williams' Design Workshop, or Design for non-designers, instead. Those two are way more worth the money than this one.
Only for new people in the field. April 8, 2008

The materials were good ideas if you have no experience in training or educating people. If a person has any experience at all, it would be better to find a text that gives more, and also comes with a CD so you can implement the ideas easily and quickly.

This is written for people writing adult training material...but I would recommend it for anyone who is new to page layout and publishing, and wants to get an introduction to "the basics."
This book is easy to read and understand. It practices what it preaches--a straightforward layout with clear examples of what to do and what not to do.
Once I started using the ideas in this book, my page layout moved to a whole new level. I started getting compliments left and right...people thought that the content had improved, but it was the page design.
I bought several other training books at the same time, but this is the one I turn to again and again.
Frank includes suggested layouts that are easily copied into MS Word. She also includes consistency checklists to help you create an overall design for your publication.
Advanced users may wish that she discussed color and use of photographs. She also did not discuss material to be viewed online. I feel that those two elements really add to modern training. However, as a primer this is excellent.

If you're like me, you know what you want to write but have to visualize how you should write it. This book is a great guide on how to visualize and create great documents and training materials and I'm truly grateful to the author for writing it.
