'WRITTING IS DESIGN'

During the final episode of the AIGA's Command X we saw the concepts of Kelly, Matthew and Nichelles solutions to make youths vote. All of their concepts were very cleaver and somewhat similar. Before watching the episode I envisioned different stationary or designs that they might have created. That is one reason this episode blew me away. Even-though Kelly's concept had a bit more illustration all of their concepts and ideas were written. They used writing/copy to attract youth to vote. All three concepts were very interesting to how much simple copy can create an impact. This goes to show that writing is design. Not only did the students from the Command X show use writing but people every where like authors, poets and directors all use writing to design. Before a movie is made it is written into a script. This script is done so the reader can view and imagine the movie before it is created. An author writes a book for a literal journey and a poet writes for passion but it also imprints a picture into the readers mind. This goes to show that writing does just as much as an image or an illustration. 

In my opinion it does more because it doesn't give you a set image it allows your imagination to create the picture. This allows for different minds to view it different ways and allows for different feelings. This is why writing is design...
