What to Do with the Material

Concise requires you to measure every word as if you are paying handsomely for its use. Admittedly, it is difficult to pare your own words, but learn to do it … and, to do it ruthlessly.

Correct specifically refers to converting technical to non-technical terminology. Don’t gloss over to the point where your writing is inaccurate or, nearly as bad, fuzzy. Also, use more than one information source when at all possible.

If, after all the paring you can do, the write-up still appears too long for an album page, chunk it! That is, break it into two or three pieces for placement on the page. This move allows you to use the critical information while making the text itself design elements.
