Abstract

As an effective visual communication tool, desktop publishing is used in every area such as general publications and graphics, multichapter documents, and publications with tabular materials such as technical and statistical publications (Chagnan, n.d.). General publications and advertising graphics like newsletters, magazines, brochures, small booklets, posters, and flyers are created and distributed every day. Classroom teachers in K-12 usually send flyers, newsletters, and/or posters to students and parents to announce classroom news, activities, field trip instructions, and the like. College and universities use brochures and flyers to recruit students and to advertise new courses. Additionally, more and more instructional materials are created with desktop publishing programs in classrooms.
