Mark –
I have here, in front of me, a piece of trash that was created by a
"professional graphic artist" — it was created by traditional means,
phototype, stat camera, exacto knife, etc.
Do you remember the fury of "typesetters" that was created when the IBM ESC
was introduced? For $3000, all the home typists became typesetters —
smudgy tpe and all.
Part of the blame for this also lies with Apple's marketting, and to a
lesser extent with the software vendors who have perpetuated the myth that
if you just purchase the "right" computer and the "right" software," you
can produce "professional looking" documents right at your desk — no
experience needed.
