i've seen two types of old dudes - dudes that ducked out into education early and are so latched on the past that they can't teach the new people or have a discussion on what's coming up (my professors) and other guys who embraced the technology/trends and were able to stay in the game. with the latter, i know guys that have shifted to creative direction, some more the "art" side of their design and some that ducked off into production. fred woodward (GQ / rolling stone) never touches a computer, but is one of the leading DD's in magazines, ed fella focuses more on his side projects as an "exit level" designer as he calls himself, and in working at a few mags and at a printer it seemed like a lot of the older color/retouching/production dudes used to do design, but who knows how good they were to begin with.
