I would say that much have been learned but there are still many more to be learned. As a casual blogger, I was not aware of ethical and cultural issues that would arise from blogging until I have done this assignment. As argued by Schriver (1997), culture strongly influences the way individuals decipher words and images. Code of ethics should be strongly held upon even when blogging in personal blogs and sites.
In addition, I have learnt that images and texts are equally important in creating a good document. Multimodal presentation works better in maintaining audience interests. (Walsh, 2006) According to Reep (2006) color in a document catches the reader's eye and is appealing to reader. This stresses the importance of document designing especially the colour, which may or may not appeal to the readers.
The journey has came to an end in this blog, however I will still continue the journey of learning document design in my daily life.
