“I like doing clay work. It's different from drawing on a page because you have something to mold into different shapes. It's quite visual, it's a thing you can hold and feel, and that makes it different from drawing.” FeelsDifferentShapesPagesDrawingVisualsWorking ItClayMold Author:Bonnie Wright

“The way something looks or sounds is also what it means. Words as visual and aural phenomena, which mainly poets, not critics and prose writers, tend to be obsessed with. I think maybe I'm more of a curator than I am a writer in the strict sense because I am interested in how everything on the page, in a space, works together.” ThinkingWayLooksMeanTogetherSoundSpacePoetPagesCriticsObsessedVisualsProseWorking TogetherStrictCuratorMean Words Author:Masha Tupitsyn
“To dismiss basic contexts such as link colours, page layouts, navigation systems, and visual hierarchy as 'boring' or 'pedestrian' is akin to laughing at a car's steering wheel as unimaginative.” LaughingCarPagesBoringWheelsVisualsColourLinksHierarchySteeringNavigationPedestriansLayout Book:The Art & Science of Web Design Source: The Art & Science of Web Design
“I learned capacity for self-reflection very early, finding it through interior monologues that books are so good at and that visual media is so bad at because it's so boring - nothing's happening. In a book, you can be inside the narrator's head for 50 pages, and nothing needs to happen. Then you learn to be inside your own head without something needing to happen. It's a very good antidote to a crazy, restless, "what's next?" culture - that you can just be in your own head and nothing is happening except that this is a rich place. I love that.” NeedsBookSelfHappensCultureNextRichCrazyMediaFindingsPagesHappeningsReflectionCapacityVery GoodBoringVisualsInteriorsRestlessAntidoteSelf ReflectionMonologuesNarratorsSo Boring Author:Jeanette Winterson
“By the way, pornography? It's a new synaptic pathway. You wake up in the morning, open a thumbnail page, and it leads to a Pandora's box of visuals.

“What I'm doing in writing has been thoroughly and exhaustively explored in other fields like visual art, music, and cinema, yet somehow it's never really been tested on the page.” WritingHas BeensArtFieldsPagesCinemaVisualsTestedVisual ArtArt Music Author:Kenneth Goldsmith
“If you look closely, there is no book more visual than Three Trapped Tigers, in that it is filled with blank pages, dark pages, it has stars made of words, the famous magical cube made of numbers, and there is even a page which is a mirror.” IfsLooksMadeBookThreeLiteratureStarsDarkNumbersFamePagesMirrorsFilledVisualsTrappedBlankTigersCubesBlank Pages Author:Guillermo Cabrera Infante
“Our lives are so visual now, with social media and we're constantly shifting gears. Nobody requires a table of contents. Nobody requires that one page leads to the next page, we're okay being surprised by things that are eclectic.” NextSocialOur LivesMediaPagesOkayTablesSocial MediaVisualsShiftingGearsEclecticTable Of Contents Author:Sophia Amoruso
“Visual art and writing don't exist on an aesthetic hierarchy that positions one above the other, because each is capable of things the other can't do at all. Sometimes one picture is equal to 30 pages of discourse, just as there are things images are completely incapable of communicating.” WritingArtSometimesPositionEqualPagesCapableCommunicateVisualsAestheticIncapableDiscourseHierarchyVisual Art Book:Burroughs Live: The Collected Interviews of William S.
