In the past graphic design was the preserve of mysteious professionals and copyrighting was its own preserve. As we spread ourselves into so many more roles we have more scope for rental creativity. It is great to have this potential as it makes possible projects that would never have been started before, but being able to use Photoshop doesn't make me a graphic designer and using Illustrator doesn't make me a typographer. I don't know if this is a worse or better state than the past, but it's worth bearing in mind. Specialist skills still have their place. CSS is my rental creativity outlet. Enthusiastic amateurism that can eat hours. <abbr><em>rubken’s last blog post..<a href="http://rubken.tumblr.com/post/78102089" rel="nofollow">we are all noticing the lack of problems</a></abbr></em> We all fill so many more roles than we used to 10 years or so ago.
