Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Strive for simplicity. Don't clutter your message with too many design elements, too many colors, or too many decorative touches. Restraint, or limiting the use of design elements, will keep the document visually appealing.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) First, depending on how they are used, design elements can increase or decrease the effectiveness of your message. Thoughtful, reader-focused design makes messages easier to read, whereas poorly chosen design elements can act as barriers that impede communication. Second, the visual design sends a nonverbal message to your readers, influencing their perceptions of the communication before they read a single word.
