    In design creativity is key.

    A student could come up with a more creative solution to a brief than a designer who's been a professional for 10 years. In that way it's a democracy.

    However, the designer with experience will be able to implement his design effectively (with a broad knowlege of print processes/ dealing with suppliers etc) the more experienced designer will also be able to deal with clients and manage the projects and billing/invoices better.

    When a job asks for a certain amount of experience it doesn't mean they think an established designer is better than a student, they just want someone who can deliver a project on budget, on time whilst dealing with the client and conducting themselves professionally.
