"plus, if a designer can't work unless he has dreamweaver, then he doesn't have the skill to be doing it in the first place. "
SP you totally just contradicted yourself.......
DOES ANYONE HERE REALIZE WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THIS INDUSTRY.... html/php/asp/jsp.... this is not designing....and using dreamweaver is not designing...being able to handcode is not designing...
all any of us can think about is this CRAP....and its crap... DOESNT ANYONE WANT TO GO BACK TO THE DAYS WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY DESIGN...the art of making things look good....
I mean seriously we have let this industry corrupt us for too long....we are worried about making our images 50k instead of 54k.... COME ON...
Thats for the production crew to worry about....we have all forgotten where we came from...now there are some of you that came from no background in art but you are now doing postcards and flyers...and the reason was that you started in websites and grew from there...
HOW NICE IS IT TO DESIGN AN AD....color correct it and send it off to the printers regardless of size....... and that you dont have to cut it up.....
SP think about it .......doing DW doesnt make you a designer......and neither does handcoding..... designing is art people....and what html is .......even though most would say its the easiest shit.... its programming....
Now I agree with this fact about HTML only.... to get html to work properly in every browser and to lower the file size etc....could be considered an artform becuase it is an absolute pain in the ass.... But its not design
Seriously people.... you need to evaluate what you consider design because I think everyone has forgotten...there is more to design....
If you have added html and php to your arsenal to charge more thats fine but think about it by doing that you now make it harder for the artists out there .... because now we are no longer designing...
Anyone see the 2a job listing...they want someone that is an awesome designer and knows practically every technology in existence....
THEY ARE ON CRACK... and there is no way that any of them at that place know all of the above....
Sorry for this book...but I was pissed....clients never understand what it takes to get something to look properly on the net.... or even on paper...
ITs the tree in the forest....if a tree falls in the forest did it ever make a sound? If you spend 7 hours on that stupid pixel problem and don't tell anyone...would they ever know you did it?
