"However, in communication several modes are always used together, in modal ensembles, designed so that each mode has a specific task and function. Such ensembles are based on designs, that is, on selections and arrangements of resources for making a specific ic message about a particular issue for a particular audience. Design is the process whereby the meanings of a designer (a teacher, a pub\ ic speaker, but also, much more humbly and in a sense more significantly, participants in everyday interactions) become messages. Designs are based on (rhetorical) analyses, on aims and purposes of a rhetor, and they are then implemented through the instantiations of choices of many kinds."
