How to Write About Design (and Why You Should): Writing for designers

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

Designers need to write. But most don't do it unless compelled to.

There is a fascinating and entangled relationship between writing and design, but most working designers treat the written word as secondary, an afterthought. The visuals get the attention, and writing is relegated to caption or glib summary.

This book makes the argument that writing is a design activity, and that design itself can be written as thoroughly as it is visualised. The author argues that designers should embrace writing as a core activity of creative practice.

How to write about design (and why you should) is written for designers of all kinds, and teaches how to use the written word as a design, business and strategic tool. If you a designer who has ever struggled to express the ideas underpinning your work, this book is for you.
