Ill give it a go and ill try to be serious:
Do you think technology has help evolve graphic design within the last 20 years?
Yes... Definately, but also made it easier for others to do their own design
Do you think old methods are just as good as new?
(E.G) I have recently practiced screen printing along with digital printing and found the process of screen printing much more personal, creative and preferred the over all outcome.
No, I think the old ways are definately more personal and undoubtedly more creative BUT for certain aspects of Graphic Design the old ways are too unpredictive and not as safe. Plus the modern methods are much easier and quicker.
Do you think keeping up with software hinders your creativity?
Yes, definately, when design software (Adobe) bring out a new version your persuaded to get that version as much as you would be to upgrade a phone or ipod, although the new versions dont really include features that would be vital to designing. And Filters... waste of time. Bring back Freehand MX :)
The Apple Macintosh has evolved graphic design immensely, Do you believe graphic design would be where it is today without it?
Yes, But No. Apple products are the definition of cool, including the mac, the features of a mac dont differ to Windows but all designers (nearly all) swear by them. Apple itself as a brand is just a way falsely improving your lifestyle through awesome advertising. The mac can do nothing for design that a PC cant except make you look cooler! ...My laptop crashed as I was answering this question... So maybe macs are better?
Due to software and new technologies do you believe the design profession is becoming less respected and more open to non designers?
E.G Build your own website programmes and online tutorials
Hoipe it helps :) x
