It's not just me, apparently.
ProfHacker, in this case, Evan Snider, recommends teaching document design as part of teaching writing--liberating us from the standard "Times New Roman, 12 pt., black ink on white paper, 1" margins all around." I don't like it, don't use it, so why impose it on my students? Of course, some guidelines have to be provided--or we'll be getting first-year comp essays in Joker (hot pink!). But teaching the basics of visual design should be part of composition; to convince yourself, read this essay by Anne Wysocki.
