I just came across this piece via Design Observer. I don’t totally agree with everything she says, but what interests me is the core of her argument: being able to express oneself clearly through the written word holds a lot of importance. With an increasingly social media-soaked landscape, people don’t write (in a formal sense) as much as they used to, and this is a big reason I became interested in my thesis topic. The problem is, not everyone learns to be a decent writer in the same way—this is where learning styles come in and I think design has a role to play in training visual learners to write.
