It sounds like where I worked 9 years ago, when we had a ton of print
designers trying to design for the web. Well, the best you can do is to
educate the print person, and team them up with someone who know all
about the web. Print people (good ones) do have ideas about design and
know how to apply them to print, they just need a lot of help applying
them to the web. It can work, it's not the most ideal situation, and I'm
surprised it's still happening in 2005, but you do what you can...
