Type 2 Journal Entry

Writing is very important for designers. Many design students lack confidence in their writing skills and don't feel they are very good writers. Strong writing skills can strengthen a student's thinking skills. It is important for a designer to take a body of text and create an image to accompany it or emphasize the meaning of the text. Writing and designing share many of the same characteristics and aspects such as: brainstorming, researching, organizing, drafts, revising, and the final project. Writing and language create an identity for a product, something that people can associate with, look for, and become familiar with.
