Instructions: In the column on the left, list brief statements of documentation goals. Across the top of the matrix, list the layout features of your documents. Then, mark an X at the intersection of features and goals. Analyze your ideas: Which of the features seem to satisfy the most goals? Where can you compromise; where can you exploit? Share your work with another writer and discuss the results. Tell the possible implications for your document design.

Layout features (examples: columns, rules, page size, spacing, margins, etc.)
