Comparing and Contrasting Two Websites for Proximity and Repetition.
Part 1: In this discussion topic, we continue the analysis of the PARC (proximity, alignment, repetition, and contrast) principles.
As noted in our discussion topic in week 4, in technical writing, whether you are drafting a set of instructions, a quick start guide, or a report to a specific audience, you want to take note of these principles in the design of your document.
This discussion topic is designed to help you analyze the concepts of proximity and repetition.
