Jan 18 2005
My first magazine advertisement came out today (or at least today was the first time I got to see it.) It is available to readers of the Jan 2005 issue of Connect Magazine. It feels like the first time I redesigned a companies website and pushed it out to the live internet sometime in 1998, yet better somehow. I hope this marks the begining of a continual growth pattern. Most graphic designers are making the move from print to web. Most with much difficulty. Having learned to deal with 72 DPI and 640 x 480 resolution (remember those days?) I find it quite liberating to say “hmmmm, how high should I take the quality of this one” knowing full well that it is only going to print at 300. I think that is why established print designers have more success moving into flash than HTML. They can’t deal with all the rules. I wonder how many web designers are making the move to print like I am. Feels like driving on the wrong side of the road in England. You know you are doing it the right way but no one else can figure it out.
