When I started as a graphic designer, these were some of my tools. Going to press required some or all of these. Now you can get by with, at most, the loupe and the Pantone book. Fortunately, design transcends its tools. And, when successful, it transcends media as well. I hope you enjoy the work and that you find a bit of transcendence here and there.
