designer of everything

some thoughts on our reading regarding chunking...

as writers, artists and designers, we are routinely called upon to use our skills to provide organized solutions.

we organize concepts and behaviors. we provide structure for communication.

we command attention where its due and nudge influential pieces of information into the spotlight.

we control the power to persuade, to argue and to illuminate.

we solve problems not simply by building the bridge that's asked of us but by asking about the size of the chasm that separates us. (last sentence restated from an article in Fast Company's Power of Design issue, Jun 05)

really, we are the designers of everything.
