And the end came quickly

"We had no idea, but we were looking at the beginning of the end, and the end came quickly." - Chester Higgins Jr. on the demise of traditional graphic design.

Growing up I somehow ended up in more than my fair share of old layout rooms. Newspapers, offset printers, copy shops – they all had these layup rooms with massive desks and stools. More space and seats than there were people in the shop. Little did I know those rooms were once busy hubs around which the businesses ran. Now I wish I had the chance to experience that.
