Quote:where people create virtual magazines and put images in them that mimic what old magazines
it's called utilising new technologies but understanding the principals from 'older formats' ie
understanding basics is always a good principal.. therefore the baby learns to crawl, then walk then run... so utilising Digital cameras is no different. the same with illustration. I very rarely use teh old black ink (I still do when it is the only way) however, my digital illustrations are only another medium to be understood, but by understanding the use of pencil and pen, of ruler and layout my digital illustrations are (imho) good... I teach survey methods with first principals of geometry and stadia tacheometry even if I will be using a GPS system... or a totla station... to understand the technology, I feel it is important to understand how you get there.
A digi-cam is only as good as the user... and understanding the principals is fundemental where using a box brownie or the latest super cam.
For really I think that the poorest he that is in England hath a life to live, as the greatest he
