Print and Web

27 April, 2006

Andrea at Interllectual has a great write-up of a recent project she completed at Humboldt: First Year Connections. I was particularly heartened by her descriptions of print and web people working together.

I am part of the Graphic Services department, which means that I work with professional graphic designers. When I first got the job I thought that this might be a bone of contention—I’ve heard lots of horror stories about how print people don’t understand the web and yadda yadda. But it has been quite the opposite. I have learned about print design and they have learned about the medium of the web, and we have worked well together, each bringing our own skills to the table.

This has always been an area of concern for me and I know there are quite a few others around the place who are keen see print and online publications working in tandem and being complementary, rather than as two separate entities that rehash unsuitable material and sometimes openly contradict each other. I've written about this before and this year things are hopefully going to change.
