Huh? Maybe for some "Mom and Pop" shop selling sandwiches.

Not in the professional traditional print or advertising industry.

On the internet? It doesnt take a whole to see that even some large corporations

arent up to date

on how important their image needs to be on the internet or even the opportunities


to reach potiential customers. How many corporations hire ad agencies to carry

their online

campaigns? very few. Why? They leave that up to their technical depts who rarely

have any graphic design

people simply due to the fact that graphics dont direct the internet. Technologies

like Flash are changing that.

Before you take anymore of my statements out of context, understand that Im

talking about "Jacks" in "this" industry.

Look at the advertising industry as a whole. The professional print industry does

not hire someone that can work the press,

do the layout, sell the ads, sweep the floor, manage the enterprise etc. Even

though the drummer of the band might know a

little guitar doesnt mean he wont be playing the drums when they go onstage for

the masses. Professional agencies hire individuals who specialize in their fields

to give a professional and quality service. Were have you been?

Let me guess, on the net.

Yes a little of everything, but not a whole lot of anything.

not at all, just because you can open up flash or type "10 = input"

doesnt mean you can take a company's identity to the next level or

successfully run a quality online or offline advertising campaign.

Again I am not saying, and Ive never stated that "Jacks" are morons or an

underclass of people.

In some cases a general overall knowledge of something is a great thing.

Again taking someone's statements outa context and drawing your final word upon

it?

Smooth. Human, though. I see no contradictions in my previous posts.

Ill be the first to post any inadequacies after re-reading my posts if I think Im

mistaken

and ask God's forgiveness from the list.  =8>)-

My re-post was mearly focusing the lens and trying to be a little more specific

about

the "jacks vs. masters" in "this" industry.

Absolutely.


You make it sound like masters become masters for some type of credit or reward

which draws me to understand why you and a large part of society in general would

still converse on this topic.


A true "Master" of trade perfects his practice because of passion and loyalty to

the cause, not for some trophy or a pat on the back.


Internet broadcasts with technologies like Flash are like "Walt Disney" in his

garage

drawing "Steamboat Willie", setting up the frames, filming, selling and

distributing.


It will change. It already is.

You do? Smooth.
