And to help, a quote from "The end of print: the graphic design of david
carson"
(ISBN 1-85669-070-9)

"... The designer of today works with resources that did not exist just
a decade (or less) ago. The digital age has transformed the tools
available and the processes by which creative ideas are realized. This
functionality of earlier production methods has been emulated or
superseded by the new technology. However, it would be a fallacy to
think traditional methods have been or will be entirely replaced: they
are still valid, often with a different role. These processes represent
ways of thinking, as well as ways of getting results. while these
techniques may no longer be the only or most dominant means of
production they can be employed for effect rather than through
necessity. .....
As the process changes, so does the message. ..."
