I'm going to be lazy and do a mass thank you for the many wonderful suggestions I have received regarding my thinking through making presentation. They have been mostly off list and often with apologies for being too obvious or for being too off topic. None of them were either.
I have a pile of reading to do over the next couple of weeks.

Archie Boston did a series of video interviews with Los Angeles graphic designers and this is a small snippet of one of them. They are all worthwhile but the one with Saul Bass is particularly so. And nobody should assume that Saul's "Learn to draw" advice meant that he was weak with words. Saul was one of the best verbal communicators I've ever known.
Which reminds me: Ralph Caplan said something that might be relevant to both sides of the discussion about writing vs other representations. He was talking about clients saying "I know what I want to say but I can't put it in words." He said his reply was "What do you have it in now?"
