Segues

Reviewing a laid-out, early-stage version of a current project, I was reminded of the importance of segues in a multi-page document discussing a variety of topics. Picture a freeway in which the first sign for an off-ramp is set on the ramp itself and you'll get the idea. Without an effective segue, you're a quarter mile down the road before you have a glimmer of an idea where you are. One reason to lay things out early is that it makes the problem obvious enough that you can't ignore it.
