    @Gabbyj Thank you! And yeah, that is an awesome aspect of writing. (And I do have a character who can control time, Rebecca Stevens, but her story is currently inactive. *sigh*)

    Um. Well, the easiest way to answer that is to clarify: Professional Writing and Information Design is one major with a long name, not two with short names. And the major as a whole is basically learning how to write and design for the world of business and manufacturing (as opposed to academic or creative writing). So, a PWID major might go into technical writing, instructional design, web writing and design, corporate communication, or even something like marketing that overlaps with another major, and in all those, we write the thing and then we design how the thing is going to look. For example, if you’re looking at a help page for a piece of software, PWID majors (or someone in the same field, not explicitly PWID) might have been the ones to write the software, take any screenshots, and figure out how it’s all laid out on the page. Does that answer the question?
