I’ve tried to write this article several different ways. In fact, this is probably the tenth revision so far. This time, however, I’m simply going to shoot from the hip and say what I feel. As many of you know the world of graphic design is something that is constantly evolving. Though some principles remain the same, the game is changing. Unfortunately, I don’t see a vast majority of designers changing with it. For decades the worlds of print and web design have resided safely in their own respective neighborhoods. Print lived in a high-rise penthouse, while web chilled out in a studio loft. Well, nowadays the web community is “movin’ on up” and the distinction between print design and web design is become increasingly difficult to discern. I’m of the opinion that we should no longer try to separate each other into categories like print or web, but merely call ourselves designers as a whole.
