Why Writing Regularly is Important to Graphic Designers

If you're a Graphic Designer or Artist you may not think writing regularly is not important to your occupation, but it can greatly influence your creativity. The list below covers some of the ways writing on a regular basis can benefit creatives, or anyone for that matter.

Writing regularly can help you…

1. Communicate ideas more clearly and effectively.
2. Keep your thoughts and ideas organized. Always good if you’re a scatter brain like me.
3. Challenge your mind in different and unexpected ways, which leads to better problem solving.
4. Get your ideas out fast so that they can be shared with others.
5. Experience flow the mental state of operation in which the person is fully immersed in what he or she is doing by a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and success in the process of the activity.

So the question is: How important do you think writing and communication skills are to your occupation and success?
