Design Writing

In a Core 77 post by William Bostwick, he discusses ways to improve your writing skills as a designer.  We can't get away from having to convey our ideas to clients and fellow designers in the form of emails, proposals, etc.  The article is broken up into five steps to remember when writing: "Use your skills", "Kill jargon", "Tell a story", "Don't be afraid to put yourself into your writing", and "Don't say too much".  In the end, you want your writing to sound like it is coming from you and to be as unique as the work it is describing.
