Thanks for including me amongst such illustrious company. Design often seems a bit mysterious to me (and I’m sure writing seems mysterious to others); I hope we can eliminate some of the mystery.
(Not all of it, though. What would life be with nothing unknown?)
Hi Roy. Glad to see you here!
Writing seems mysterious to me also. I sort of know there are rules to follow and rules to break, but that’s about it. Yes, I’m at the beginning of a long road. It’s exciting, yet scary at the same time.
What I do know for sure is that the majority of businesses today can’t do without one or the other – good design and good writing.
And that’s why I’ve included writing on DWB (as well as marketing, photography, branding, etc).
