Bedford Researcher - Chp. 16

The design of a document is a tool that can go a long way in a research paper and should be considered during the draft writing process. Design is what takes a big chunk of information and makes it readable and understandable. The way we choose to design our paper will set the tone and genre, help the readers better understand and define ideas, and a balance of design as well as purpose in doing it a certain way, can further establish your thesis and take your paper to the next level. Chapter 16 lists certain ways we can use designs for our paper. When used effectively, design can help achieve your paper's goal and add to the final effect.
