great thread!!
i think that it mos definitely important to have an awareness of how design was done pre- mac... from gutenberg to the mid 80's when the mac was introduced as a tool for outputting and creating design... i have done letterpress, letra-set rub downs, xeorxing and other type experiments and prefer that over any filter... something that i longed for as a result of kids at my college relying on the computer for everything...i would say that it is good to embrace the technology that we designers have access to. it's interesting how our predecessors have embraced technology and used the computer as a tool...
april greiman
zuzanna licko/ rudy vanderlans
david carson
and many others have used the computer as a tool for creating and experimenting...whether it was the designing of type faces or experimental layout...also interesting how the computer created designer celebrities
interesting lit- marshall mcluhan-- every designer should read medium is the massage, gutneberg galaxy.... and others
