There are many theories with regards to designing. However designing for print and designing for online are two different things. For online(blog), the designing concepts are more colorful and cheerful. Blogs allows more interactivity with many applications such as comment box, chatbox, hyperlinks and followers of the blogs. Many patterns, colors and designs are experimented onto blogs to create a more interesting and eye catching layout. Shriver (1997), when text and graphics are integrated, they produce a better understanding for the reader or viewer than, either one a In comparison, designing for print does not require so much creativity and eye catching designs because the document focuses on content not layout. Designing for blogs can change from time to time according to the owners likings. As for the content of the blogs, it is rather informal as readers scan through the words however the information must be credible (Nielson, 1997). In comparison, the writing for design for print has to be more professional and serious. Summarizing is not recommended. A good example of a document is a research paper.
