Subject:tech writing vs. information design From:Katherin King <kking -at- BROOKTROUT -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 27 Aug 1998 10:32:10 -0400
Is there a distinction between "tech writing" and "information design,"
or is information design a subset of tech writing? I know that Bentley
College has certificate programs for each, indicating a distinction, but
I also read an article by a "senior technical writer who specializes in
information design," so I'm curiously confused.
