Just this week, the magazine Fast Company published an article about how important writing skills are to making it in the creative world. According to the article, the text a designer uses to describe any new tools has to be clear before the app itself can be succeed. For that reason, the best designers in the job market are the ones who can translate between design idea, code and user languages fluently. As FIT students, not only do you get one of the best design educations in the world, but we can help you with your writing skills too.
