5. Writing and Editing in the 21st Century
There is as much craft to good writing as there is in the craft of painting, drawing, or designing. The use of proper grammar and spelling is as essential as choosing the right brush, drawing medium, or appropriate typeface. The role of editing is crucial to the craft of any written work. Just as your visual work is vastly improved via interaction with a talented creative director, a skilled editor can raise your writing from blogfodder to New Yorker-quality prose. Approach writing as you would a visual project, with energetic critiquing and revising cycles, to strengthen your written work and assure it matches the quality of your design or art work.
