And i really hope it never dies. As the "web" gets easier and easier to access, printed advertising and well, anything printed for that matter has to compete against its internet counterpart. Magazines, books, records, fliers the list goes on. Its not that i dislike the web, everything looks great on screen especially the wider range of colors and ability to have moving elements. Its an extremely useful tool but you cant handle it and feel the texture of the ink and the paper. On screen you can imitate it but thats all it is. Artificial.
This will probably be an ongoing post...
I do agree that print shouldn't die, but man things are getting intense with technology! It goes to show that technology is advancing every single day and it really isn't anything we can do to stop it. Just gotta sit back, relax and try to enjoy the fact that we are even a part of this technological world. The fact that us being web and/or graphic designers gives the automatic "ok" for being adapters. We adapt to almost any situation being printed or web based. We own which is why almost every single company, group, demographics, politicians, etc. need our help! Adapting is the best way to get through the battle of print vs. web. Either way "we" win!
