BLOG: WRITING IS DESIGN

Is writing design? Yes, I feel that writing is considered design. Being able to write something that can influence a person or change their mind about something is design. Poetry, novel writing, song lyrics; they are all forms of design. Poetry usually expresses a thought or opinion through the means of writing, a novel is writing that is used to entertain the reader. Song lyrics express a song through words and often poetry, and powerful words that have meaning can have an effect on a person easily through persuasion. So design does not always consist of images and illustrations. Writing is design; creatively communicating through words and expressing through poetry is design.
