But finding the right people and managing all the expensise is no easy task. Speacialy when you are trying to lower the cost of production for avergae clients. When I started going to school for design things were so different. The field wasnt as cluttered as is it now and I remeber in our school, there were 30 students at the time majoring in Graphic Design. That changed to over 300 students in less than three years. I think the big Y2K craze created an illusion for alot of IT based businesses. Lots of compnaies made good money over that and the economy was good at the time. I think the belief was that IT related fields were going to expand rapidly and that created an over whelming demand for new jobs. But it was just a craze and it turned out to be the opposite. Anyway, this kinda goes back to the old argument of design versus usability. Seems like most places are cutting corners and trying to save. So that is my concern for the future of what I have gotten myself envolved with. Honestly, I just realy value time and effort and this is not the only thing I am interested in or capable of doing. So when you invest a good number of years into something I think it's natural to try to evaluate the market for it. In short, there are many other ways to make 3 grand from a client than working hard day and night for about a month, dealing with numerous problems and in general having a slow workflow. Good design just takes time. In fact it's the extra time that makes all the difference, so that is why this is a concern in this field of work. In business, you want maximum productivity at the least amount of time. This is a conflicting reality for me and many other designers I'm sure. Thanks for your input.
