Design in Writing

When i read this week's readings, i just asked myself, why are me taught in school to simply do MLA formatting when learning how to design your writing can be so useful?
In the Bernhardt article, he wrote how the design and image of his paper helped it be noticed and read. That is what we need to know as students and especially as writing majors. We are going to depend on our writing getting noticed and sometimes, at least it sounds like it anyway, words just won't cut it. I think we need to be taught how to add more style to our writing, even if it is subtle.
Now the Wysocki article i found really helpful at first...but once she went off on beauty, i kind of lost the connection to design and writing. But when she was first writing, she was talking about how our eyes travel and what they land on and how certain elements of design can really draw a reader in. I liked how she used a lot of different fonts and styles. It doesn't have to be just picture images that we use to stylize our writing. It helped me get through each paragraph and onto the next one when i saw that there was a new subtitle and new font. It helped me see, not necessarily that she was moving on to a different subject, but that she was at least moving on to a different point of view or focus. There were times that one paragraph was talking about art giving pleasure and then her next point was that it doesn't necessarily have to be art to give pleasure. This subtitle, while connecting to the previous paragraphs, was in a different font and style. I don't know if this works for everybody, but i think it honestly made it a more interesting read. Style does a lot. This article reminded me of a magazine because it did not just stick to one writing style and format. It experimented and it always kept me interested to see what she said next, if not how she was going to use design and style on the next page.
