How to make the jump from writer to content designer
Written by Emma Schmidt
"How to Make the Jump from Writer to Content Designer" discusses the transition from writing to content design, also known as UX writing or content strategy. It highlights that writers already possess the necessary skills for content design and offers advice on how to successfully make the switch. The article emphasizes the importance of visual presentation, developing a perspective that aligns with user needs, documenting thought processes, taking on freelance work, reading relevant resources, crafting simple and conversational copy, analyzing existing products, leveraging technology for networking, and building a strong portfolio.
🎯 Expert Advice: Tips on transitioning from a writer to a content designer
Own your perspective: Content design involves advocating for the user and
anticipating their needs. Develop a perspective by keeping your finger on the pulse of your audience, creating a cohesive narrative, distilling ideas, and labeling concepts.
Document your thought process: Create copy documents that illustrate your thinking and decision-making process. These documents can showcase your approach to partners, explain why you made specific choices, and demonstrate the time and consideration you put into your work.
Take on freelance work: Freelancing can help you fill gaps in your portfolio and allow you to be selective about the projects you take on. It can also provide valuable experience and help you refine your skills.
Read and learn: Stay informed and expand your knowledge by reading resources on content design and UX writing. Explore books, articles, and blogs that provide insights into the field.
