I appreciate the beauty of the lithograph machine, and I do feel that computer's can make people lazy. However, any tool that makes a process easy can make a person lazy. In the long run, I feel its what you say that marks you as a thinker, not with how many steps or how long (or not) it takes you to say it. :)

Excellent video. Would like to say thanks to David Dabner for his great graphic design book and for taking the time to put his input into this video. :) Both have helped greatly with my digital graphic design essay.

dave maybe a legend but its a dusty old legend that the world has forgotten. Laughed so hard about his jazz analogy... he hasn't changed a bit and doubt he ever will. Great clip this. Brings back lots of memories...especially all those bloody stairs up to typo lab.

What they're saying is that you shouldn't develop your idea via computer. You sketch it out on paper and then use the computer as a tool. It's there to clean up ragged edges and fill color blocks. It's not there to help you think of a creative solution.
