Writing can be a challenge, especially for artists and designers who tend to be more visual than verbal. This book was originally created as an eBook only, but due to high demand from visual learners (a segment of the market estimated at 30%), New Riders is now publishing it as a printed book with the original eBook (which contains interactive examples) bundled into it. The print edition also contains handy workbook and sketchbook pages. Writing for Visual Thinkers approaches the craft of writing from many directions, all with the ultimate goal of unblocking the reader's verbal potential. Both experimental and pragmatic, Marks's methods will result in stronger, more verbally confident artists and designers. 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 readers to explore their thoughts and ideas in text. Developed in partnership with AIGA, this book is for the visual learners 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.
