Organization by Design: Some Implications for Structuring Information

William M. Gribbons

Abstract

This article proposes a system for document organization based on cueing and page formatting techniques. The logical and systematic use of cueing and formatting creates a visual hierarchy organizing and signalling information for the reader. When the proposed system is properly applied, the result is increased reading speeds, increased ease of access and increased comprehension.
