Abstract:

Designers who work in the day-to-day grind of deadline and presentation rarely find opportunity to bring a concentration of skills to one project. I’m going to suggest, however, that designers will benefit from following Warren Chappell’s example, and approach their work now and again as being written rather than assembled.
