Writing can be a challenge, especially for art and design students who tend to be more visual than verbal. Writing for Visual Thinkers approaches the craft of writing from many directions, all with the ultimate goal of unblocking the student's verbal potential. Both experimental and pragmatic, Marks's methods will result in stronger, more verbally confident art and design students. The rich media eBook included on the CD offers a wealth of images and links to articles, books, websites, blogs, wikis, video, and audio podcasts. Marks offers a feast for the eyes--from Leonardo da Vinci's sketchbooks to video of Jack Kerouac's On the Road scroll--adding depth and dimension to the written word and encouraging students to explore their thoughts and ideas in text. Developed in partnership with AIGA, this book is for visual students everywhere who have always wanted--or needed!--to improve their writing skills, whether they specialize in graphic design, web design, industrial design, interior design, allied design, or fashion design.
