In the two readings “Ferdinand de Sausurre’s Course in General Linguistics” and a collaboration between J. Abbot Miller and Ellen Lupton entitled “Design Writing Research”, the readings are focused on the usage of language. When it comes to languages, it is most likely considered to be an art in its own unique way.  For instance, in terms of communication, languages come in the forms of words and symbols. What makes languages even more interesting is that they can have its own unique design depending on how people use it. Using words and symbols all over the world has its own complete meaning which to me makes the art of language even more interesting.

The art of language has been around for so many centuries that in modern days, we’re able to understand how people back then were able to come up with their own source of communication. For instance, we have places like China where they are well known for using symbols and even Egypt that’s known for using images. How does communication of language influence modern times? Simple, we use words and images and also use sign language too. From what history was like back then, it is most likely that we have still followed the same idea. The only difference is the way we are using them. Especially with the kind of tools and equipment we use in order to communicate.

In the world of design, language plays a very important role in it. For instance, when creating a design, you create something that’s able to speak to the audience. Whether it can be visually or even verbally. You get designs that have a lot to say without any sights of words. You can also stumble upon designs that’s all about words such as Typography. Regardless of what kind of designs you’ll be able to experience, these designs will always have their own way of communicating with you in their own language.
