Really, it's no different than when computers hit design and replaced the exacto. A new set of skills were needed to compliment the base knowledge. <br /><br />I remember when I was a hardware tech (back before designing) and I felt the writing on ten wall would be that it was hot then, but hardware guys would soon be like car mechanics, and it happened. We need mechanics, but it's not the hot field it was. I say this as a web guy - websites will have the same thing happen (and already is). The new thing will come out (mobile platforms, apps, plus things we don't see yet), and the web guys will either have to evolve or see their workload go down. <br /><br />Print however will always have a market. It's becoming more specialized and for the time being more completive. But as more young designers learn web but not print, the print designer may very well become more in demand, simply because they have that skill. In other fields, it's the trades. In the 80's and 90's, we all went to college, and the trades got neglected. <br /><br />My dad is a very experienced welder. Not many people like him. Now days he doesn't have problem finding work. I'm not comparing welding to design, but it's the same concept. As fewer and fewer people learn print skills, they will become more valuable. It just may take time.Steve Glasgownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099402.post-76796381561436228392011-04-19T11:45:06.554-07:002011-04-19T11:45:06.554-07:00Good read.

I think a mid-large size company will still require, us print designers.Calvin Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00652548872449307741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099402.post-34664022433892152862011-04-18T09:33:05.243-07:002011-04-18T09:33:05.243-07:00Thank you, thank you!

I've been a print designer my entire career, and love the smell of ink! <br /><br />To your question about design schools teaching students how to output print pieces: I say no. Throughout my career, I have seen graduates with very little basic knowledge on what happens to their designs after they leave their screens. I am proud of my skills to produce a piece that is technically re-producible.<br /><br />I've also gotten so frustrated lately that job listings want a morphed professional who can not only design something, but also do high-end online developing as well. As my husband (a web developer) and I have come to conclude about each other is that a designer is a designer, and a programmer is a programmer -- and although we understand what each other does, we rarely see things the same way.<br /><br />I love print, and promote myself as a graphic designer who specializes in page layout and book design, and it's good to hear that there are more like me still out there.TeaBerryhttp://www.krop.com/teaberrycreativenoreply@blogger.com
