Page 16, Exercise 1

1. The homepage for NIU provides excellence by sharing different events that are extremely beneficial for all the students. They also make the site very user-friendly, so it's really easy to navigate around and find what you are initially looking for. The site uses all of the school colors, to show that it is an official school website for the university. Just overall, it has a good appearance and kes the school seem professional.

2.  So the consumer product I used to discuss is my tv manual. So first of all the manual had very little words and was covered with mostly pictures. So the company wants everyone to be able to set up their product without getting confused by any words. With using very little words and more pictures, they are showing that it's extremely easy and a kid can set it up as well. This manual also comes in both English and Spanish, so this company wants to broaden their consumers so, much more people can use their products. Overall, it seems like the purpose of this manual is just for people to see how quick and easy it is to set up their product so they can use it right away.


3.  So I used the website Monster.com to look for jobs in my field. I'm studying computer science, so I looked for jobs that were related to computer engineering and technicians. Within the three ads, I viewed all of them had the address and the job title of what you are applying for. They also all had a brief paragraph on what the job is about and what some of the task you will have to perform if you do get the job. All three of them really had the same ideas, on how to act and certain knowledge you should know before applying for the job. That could be because it's technically the same position but just at different places and cities.

    I like how your writing flows, Toby. However, you might hold off on beginning sentences with "So." It's very informal (though endearing), and clear, professional, technical writing is after accuracy and clarity that calls for a bit more distance. Also, be sure to spell check :)

    After we talk in class about design, I wonder if you have more to add about our website?

Image
Step One:   Open up Photoshop on your computer and start a new project. Name the project whatever correlates to what you are doing.

Make sure you choose a picture that’s easy enough to remove the background from.  Step Two:   Use the quick selection tool to select the image you want to keep. When using this tool you want to make sure that you are getting all around the edges so it looks nice and clean when you are done. Make sure the hardness is set to 0 Percent. So that you can get. The most accurate outline for your picture. Step Three:   Once you have selected your picture, click select subject so that it focuses only on the selection. When you do so, the background would fade so you can see your selection more clearly. On the right side of the computer, make sure the transparency tool is set to 100 so you get a blank ch...

Reframing Questions

1.              Describe how you understand the meaning of "Technical Communication." My personal understanding of technical communication is when you are able to communicate in a series of different documents and forms. It’s not just only communicating in person, but also taking it to a whole new level and expanding it from there. Some job field and titles that really use technical communications are engineers, developers & hardware etc. 2.              Explain how a notion of Technical Communication as "Storytelling" is helpful in generative effective documents, reports, and other forms of communication. A notion of Technical writing can be helpful as storytelling because it can tell people what you know or what you have been through. For example, a résumé would have all your accomplishments and it would give the employer a timeline of everythi...
