Unfortunately, I am on a system which doesn't have OpenOffice so I could 
only read what was online in the presentation. However, that seemed very 
accurate and applicable, reminiscent of design classes. Thanks for the link, 
I'll read the rest when I'm home again.

I would also have to recommend reading that (or something along those lines) 
to anyone who has not studied graphic design before.
