Graphic design is at a standstill.
Many designers attempt to move forward.
Yet they all fall short of defining the next revolution in visual communication design. They fail because their Macintosh-fueled design tools are explicitly programmed to express a finite set of visual expressive styles, hence implicitly guiding designwork performed with these tools along precisely defined stylistic axes. Designers who seek to break free from these constraints are usually the first in line for the latest upgrade to KPT or any other similar tool that even slightly breaks from the run of the mill. In the old days, originality wasn't sold in stores. About a decade has passed since I first began work on the interface design and system architecture of predecessors to Illustrator, Photoshop, and PageMaker out of a lifetime of interest in print media.
