    Document Development Exposition: Workplace Correspondence

    Explain in detail your document’s development from planning to finish, describing your
    challenges, how you overcame them, and what you learned.

    Planning
    I stated I was writing to Bennet Graphics for the Workplace Correspondence assignment. However, I
    misunderstood the assignment and wrote like I was a sales person reaching out to Bennet Graphics
    rather than an inside representative for another department in the company. For the memo and
    details that will be included in the outline. For the outline of my memo I would say I followed the
    original steps of address the current way things are printed, introduced rainbow printing, describe
    rainbow printing and finally I will explain the benefits and why Bennet Graphics should invest in
    rainbow printing. I struggled a little bit finding some sources but I just had to learn about the basics
    of rainbow printing and then begin searching for more descriptive information from there.

    First Draft (for peer editing)


    For both the email and the memo I wrote as if I was a salesman from the company Heidelberg. I was
    able to address the topic and find information to include on my documents. I feel like I kept the
    writing clear and direct. I included a summary and underlined the heading sections For this first draft
    I remember I was busy with other projects so I did enough to complete the draft but did not expand
    more than that. I knew I would need to update the links included in the memo to be properly cited.
    Overall, after receiving feedback I determined I needed to add a discussion section along with make
    the memo and email more cohesive with a style and color. I would say my first draft was the skeleton
    of the final assignment.

    Second Draft (for your packet)


    For the second draft my memo and email looked a lot more cohesive and professional. I added a
    distribution list that would be helpful to the company to know who the memo should be passed out
    to. I think adding color to the memo was a good addition because it made the memo appear more
    professional along with allows a user to browse quickly and find the specific section of their interest.
    I ran into the issue of trying to find more information on rainbow printing but I have found it difficult
    to find very detailed information. The email did not change a lot besides some extra information
    being added. However, I fully misunderstood writing the documents from inside the organization so
    for the final draft I will ensure that I do that.

    Final Draft (for your portfolio)


    For my final draft I fixed the whole document. I had to rewrite both the memo and the email to be
    from a voice inside of the organization. I also created a logo and email signature to appear more
    professional and realistic. The issue I discussed was different from the original topic. I changed my
    topic to focus on removing inks that are damaging to the air quality around us. I also removed any
    color included on the memo and changed the subject headings to appear bold or italicized to create
    emphasis. Overall, I could see this memo being shared within a printing company. I think I used plain
    language in the right way. I now feel this document is ready to be distributed.
