Thoughts

Things to think about:

What is Design Writing as a mode of writing? What are its characteristics? What distinguishes it from other modes of writing, ie: investigative journalism, new journalism, creative non-fiction, etc.

For example: The ballet shoes. How does the design writer approach writing a ballet review based on the ballet shoes versus how a news journalist (or dance critic) might do it?

What do I want my projects to achieve? How will each project show something different about design writing's approach to ballet?
- A design-writing approach to documentation (many forms of media)
- Design writing as straight writing. How do I turn a ballet review into a ballet review written in the mode of design writing?

How do I want to approach this dance notation business?
