In the particular context of writing studies, design process work can add new life to conversations about writing process. While there are as many design processes as writing processes, the design process here is understood in general as a problem-solving approach, as clarifying an existing issue early, having many iterations or versions of a product (or text), being critical of ideas as they arise, and obtaining consumer (or reader) feedback throughout as a form of testing the product. Objects from an iPod to a classroom desk go through such a problemsolving process. The designers consider a consumer’s or audience’s interests (a comfortable seat with room to work that takes up minimal space), address many concrete issues (from cost to lumbar support), and try out many versions with critique (sitting in this hurts my legs) before establishing a final product. This design-based approach moves the traditional writing process categories away from idea generation, drafting, and revision, even when those are understood to work recursively, and encourages the writer to create in a more social environment; writing becomes an act of collaboration with readers and materials. The design-based process leads to  \nTHE CEA FORUM  \nWinter/Spring 2017  \nearlier criticism of ideas, trying out more ideas, and a greater variety of feedback than most writing processes.  \nWork in writing process has remained rather stuck on the process versus post-process split, with most writing textbooks including a fairly standardized and general notion of process. The process and post-process movements have been discussed by many others (see Murray, Elbow, Emig, Faigley, Hairston, Tobin, Bizzell, and Olson for examples). A design process, on the other hand, highlights situated writing, public audiences at different points in the process, the ultimate use or goal of the writing, and the focus on materials and forces shaping the writing and the process itself. Some research has intentionally moved outside of [the process vs. post-process](the process vs. post-process)[ ](the process vs. post-process)[debate. In the collection](debate. In the collection Beyond Postprocess)[ Beyond Postprocess](debate. In the collection Beyond Postprocess), editors Sidney I. Dobrin, J. A. Rice, and Michael Vastola seek to answer key questions about post-process and its entrance into writing studies, questions concerning “new-media writing technologies and its concomitant epistemologies,”questions of institution and how history affects writing, and “questions of pedagogy and its consequences for intellectual work”(6) . Design work, an alternate post-process approach, not only gives a way to view process issues anew, but it also, unlike more traditional processes, emphasizes considerations of both writers and the forces around them, and these considerations make the writing process much more specific to each individual writer. Further, the design process emphasizes idea generation and critique in a specific context in such a way that it is really a broader rhetorical process that includes significant writing elements, and thus contextualizes the writing that students or others might do. Writing studies and writing classes are a site where some of that design thinking and liberal arts context can begin working together  \nTHE CEA FORUM  \nWinter/Spring 2017  \nmore, with concrete problems (say a local environmental issue) driving assignments that can use a design process and contextualize that work with scientific or historical information.  \nWriting and design both require imagining what is possible in a particular context.
