Mapping the mornig session with graphviz (tree) and then representing it in another way to display the translateral links between elements.
How does the structure i write, connect to what happens on the screen. And see how you then can use that to change your design from a linguistic approach.

You need to speak the language of the text interface. Design & typography is very closely related, and now, with the command line as a central tool, even more.

"Through the influence of the media and technology on our world, our lives are increasingly characterized by speed and constant change. We live in a dynamic, data-driven society that is continually sparking new forms of human interaction and social contexts. Instead of romanticizing the past, we want to adapt our way of working to coincide with these developments, and we want our work to reflect the here and now. We want to embrace the complexity of this landscape, deliver insight into it and show both its beauty and its shortcomings.

The result is 'delayed' instead of instant gratification in the process of designing. One has to wait for the script to run, which is a text based process, rather than a visual.
