The relationship between writing and design and it's effect on good communication is much more relevant than I had previously thought. Lisa Ede's view point makes communication seem like much more than just words and their meaning. People can say what they need to say by using images and the world around us to express the meaning they need to. with the amount of technology in today's world, design has become so much more advanced than it once was. Without design and it's presence in communication, we would have a lesser chance of expressing our thoughts in the fullest way possible.
