Technology and Graphic Design

Technology has had a huge impact on graphic design. Before computers, graphic design was done all by hand. Designers would cut out type then place in a visually pleasing way on the paper. However now computers can do all of the hard manual labor themselves. More and more companies are turning to graphic designers to portray their companies look and overall feel. Not only are they turning to designers for printable layouts, web design has become increasingly popular. Does this mean print will soon fade away? It is likely that print will be around for a while, however, it is very important for designers to learn to navigate and design web pages.
