Its Nice That: why dyslexia makes you a great designer

Upon discovering this article I found it particularly interesting as I'm dyslexia and its often a topic that isn't discusses within the creative community. Furthermore its also a topic that I'm very interested in due to the common issues face by those who have dyslexia such as having to work twice as hard to do as well as everyone because of the way things are taught which is mentioned in the article. I also related to a lots of other points discussed such as the fact that dyslexia is classed as a disability which although it does happen your ability in certain areas such as reading, writing and spelling, I don't personally think of myself nor would I class myself as disabled. The article also discusses how dyslexic people are often very creative to due how there brains work and how they see things. The article itself is based on an exhibition called Dyslexia Designs curated by Jim Rosko and Ab Rogers Design which only features artist and designer with dyslexia.  Each piece of work in the exhibition is the artist response to dyslexia as they detail how dyslexia helps/improves their practice. Personally my favourite piece of work shown in the article and exhibition is Pompidou chair by Richard Rogers (as seen below) as I can closely relate to the concept behind the chair which demonstrates how dyslexic people have to work twice as hard as others as the legs of the chair have to work harder than those of a normal chair due to there placement.
