Is Writing Design? AIGIA response

Is writing really design? In my opinion I believe that writing is a starting point of a design but necessarily design itself. When I say writing I am talking about an essay written on a word document with default Times New Roman Type, set on a 12 point font. Basing on the AIGA command X competition, The reason Michelle had won the competition is because the writing contained a powerful meaning at the same time arranging her text perfectly that the word “Except you”. Also I believe that writing is design once it is written creatively. An example are creatively written writing are poetry, music lyrics and or strategically written writing just like Matthew has done with design piece for the competition. Overall I believe that writing is only becomes a design if it is made with an artistic intent.
