Analysis of a Desktop Publishing Package
I could use a Desktop Publishing package, Microsoft Publisher, because
this would enable me to use various different templates, be able to
use clip-art, and other features which make it easier to produce good
designs that would all add up to a professional outcome.
I could also use Microsoft Word, but I feel that this software is
mainly used for letters and documents that contain some images and
text, because of the special features it has to offer. Microsoft Word
does not allow you to get your desired results as quickly and as
easily as in a Desktop Publishing package. Yes, Word’s performance is
great as a word processor, but there is no point spending hours trying
to do things in Word that can be done in minutes with Publisher.
I feel that the best software to use is Microsoft Publisher. Not only
does is it quick and easy to use but it gives you professional results
every time.
To ensure that my work is how it should be, I could collect data in
two ways.
Firstly, I would take my designs to my end user, Alexander Loo, and
see what he thought of them. If he has any suggestions or comments of
his own then I would simply edit my designs to fit his requirements.
Secondly, I could design a questionnaire to see what others thought of
my designs. If necessary I could add other features to my design at a
later stage.
