I remember your AMA!

Our design studio was just starting to use Macs but still did “comps” with markers and pencils. Your remarks were so helpful (even prescient, as we ended up dealing with a lot of the same RGB vs CMYK issues). And parts left me nostalgia for Aldus Freehand and Macromedia Painter and Syquest cartridges and  
Charles S. Anderson being a part of the Duffy Design Group…

Hey, I just found it! It’s just as reminiscent and motivational as it was twenty years ago.

> This is assuming anybody has ever had a question for a graphic designer, but you know, everybody’s doin’ it… My qualifications: been in the biz for 10 years, worked on projects ranging from print, (a little) interactive, sign systems, brand identity, advertising blah-blah-blah. The best recognition I’ve gotten is that my work has been in Graphis, which is, for my money, among the best publications you can get in.
