I concur. Professional design software (such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Indesign) allow you to print with Printer's Marks/Registration for making sure the print is properly aligned.
Also, having a design degree doesn't mean much. Trust me. I had interns who were clueless who were college seniors in renowned design schools because of the poor teaching.
The IT guy at my new job is a fucking wizard, everything runs smooth, no downtime, and from what the word is has been this way since he started.
He has never set foot on a college campus, all self-taught. I made him crack up when a co-worker was asking how to do a basic task and I remarked RTFM.
Yeah, I've seen it as well. Some people are good at design, programming, netsec, hell even engineering, and they don't need a fancy certificate.
Even myself—majority of work I did, even for massive corporations, all they cared about was my work.
Don't get me wrong, there are tricks you can learn with teaching. You can also learn pitfalls from those with experience and get access to machinery that may be cost-prohibitive. Self-teaching is seriously underrated. I wouldn't have survived this long if I hadn't taught myself most of what I know.
I am a firm advocate for eliminating affirmative action and bringing back apprenticeships and also figuring out in middle school and high school what each kid is good at and preparing them for real-world application of their talents.
your shit is bitrchmade, you can't even link properly and you use a memgenerator because you're too fucking lazy to have your own meme folder. I would call you a shill but that would be giving you too much credit. I would call you a leftist but that would be giving you too much credence. But a faggot? yeah, definitely.
I think the key here is she is an old school graphic designer, before the days of automated registration marks. I've been a GD for 25 years, and remember the days of 4 files for everything and making sure those marks were matched up perfectly. Now the automation that is built into graphic design software is something most designers don't even think about. For the registration to be off in this day in age, it had to be intentional, and no way possible for it to be a mistake.
Yeah, same here. I remember when I had to make all my mechanicals in picas and cmyk. :) Past 10 years most places are asking for RGB files instead.
Most things are printed digitally now so the marks are more for initial alignment and cropping than anything (I assume) and maybe to check for color accuracy with the swatches, unless you're doing an offset print for larger runs or specific specialty project. I haven't actually done print work in some time. I think you still have to do color separation of digital files for silk screens since it's a multi-stage process.
I remember going to print shops years ago when they were making the glass plates for a project, smelling the ink in the air and seeing the ink rollers and containers and the dude with black hands in bummy clothes, looking like a mechanic. Good times.
My only point about the degree for graphic design is it doesn't add to credentials more often than not—you can suck at it and still get a degree. If it was more than 20 years ago, it probably has way more merit.
