    And going back to the statement 'Print is dead'.
    Who here doesn't interact at least once a day with printed mediums? From the embossed paper sleeve on your morning coffee, to packaging protecting your latest electronic gadget, to you laughing at the ridiculous headlines on the cover of that Oprah magazine that sits on that display near the register at the supermarket.

    Dead means dead, and print can't be dead if we all continue to interact with it on a daily basis. There's a recent portion of some of the print medium that were shifted to digital mediums. Yes of course, but that doesn't mean print is dead.

    In my opinion it all comes down to seeing the glass half full vs half empty that's all.

    • Ask The New York Times if the glass is full. Print is dying. To me, I think that makes the medium more valuable.instrmntl
    • newspaper were never that strong of a reference for designers anyways..Miguex
    • Newspaper switched to a different medium, yes. Is that an indication of the entire medium being extinct to you?Miguex
    • Yup, and books and other publications going down the toilet. I love print, don't get me wrong.instrmntl
    • we have packaging, end cap displays, art books, invitations, clothing, posters, etc.Miguex
    • There will always be a need for a printed medium.. might not be as big as before, but it will be there.Miguex
