Chuck Close- Chuck is an artist who does photorealistic portraits. He uses neutral poses that he can develop into his own style, which is something that I can use in writing. He uses rigid grids and also abstract methods like turning the picture upside down so he can just focus on certain shapes and colors and not the whole piece. Focusing on both the piece as whole and individual squares is similar to the revising process because it both fixes smaller grammatical errors but also examines the overall meaning and the purpose of writing.

J Mays- J is a car designer for Ford who designs cars according to what they want people to associate the car with. They focus on things that customers look for in a car and then they decide what the car will need to have such as a motor and the other technical factors that going into a car. After the technical details were taken care of they work on the physical mold of the car. Writing procedures can follow this trend if you pick a topic and work towards an outline of what the piece will look like as a final product.

Lupe Fiasco- Lupe is a rapper who writes his own lyrics that are based on the tracks that he plays them to. He does them piece by piece and thinks about them as he goes along. He may change one line over and over again till he gets it right. He talks about how other rappers such as Jay-z can sit down and record a song in one sitting and he does not understand how one can do this. In writing if you take longer and slowly work through a piece you can often have a more refined and focused piece than if you sit down and finish it in one sitting. Lupe has a lot of references to social issues in his songs as shown by the Words I Never Said draft. These meaningful lyrics may take more time to come up with so when trying to write a more interesting paper it may take more trial and error and more time than if one was just to write in a moment.
