It's been so long since I've blogged in, they forgot who I was. Isn't that the way it goes? I have been busy lately covering for a friend who had back surgery. It is a stretch for me to cover this guy. He is a photo editing wizard. At one time I could keep up with him, but now I only work in Photoshop a few times a year so I'm a little out of touch. Since I have become more sales and less production the fast-changing technology is more apparent than ever. I have a love/hate relationship with computers anyway...I love to hate them. Computers have taken a trade that once required great skill and creativity and put it in the hands of the receptionist...(no offense intended). I'm a graphic designer, I completed the studies at 2 art and design colleges. I can draw and paint...with my hands, not a computer mouse! Graphic design is not the only trade that the computers have ruined, the list is endless. Oh, how I wish people were still creating things with only their hands. When I created design projects on the drafting table I knew what I had. Now, with the computer generated projects, you don't know what you have until you print it out...and then it will look different when someone else prints it, and even more different when it is ultimately printed on an actual press. Great, aaghhh! I need to revolt, no more computer generated art, or least get back to creating art the old school way. It would feel great doing art, real art. Art is my music, I need to jam!
