"Writing is the solid form of language, the precipitate," writes Robert Bringhurst. "Speech comes out of our mouths, our hands, our eyes in something like a liquid form and then evaporates at once." This image gives him the title for the essay in which it appears, "The Solid Form of Language," subtitled "An Essay on Writing and Meaning."

I want you to reflect on this quote...what does the relative permanence of written language mean to design? Has it changed over time? What does it mean in relationship to digital media?

Have a good weekend. This should be posted before class on wednesday. I have been lenient so far...you need to make sure you are posting by the given time.
