What it is to be a designer:

Ben of Noisy Decent Graphics has written a terrific post about being a designer.

As a copywriter, I wish I'd written it.

As a blogger I wish I'd written it. The chronological use of photography makes the post and the content flow really well. To my mind, it's kind of a mashup of a well-informed presentation with a twist of Pecha Kucha.

And it's a great post to follow up this earlier one which is also terrifically good.
