Something very different this time. In the last audio from the nature reserve I mentioned the difference between the nature reserve and the industrial type premises I have been working at on the last couple of weekends and I thought that this weekend that I would take the opportunity to bring you the audio from the Printers.
I have worked within the publishing industry for the last 20 or so years starting in local newspapers as a graphic designer and illustrator. There have been many changes over the years in the technology used and the last few years have seen the web grow as a major publishing medium.
Many skill sets have been lost over these years; the designers technical pen and skill of the pasteup artist being replaced by the computer, the skill of the copy camera operator made redundant by such processes as CTP and one day we may hear silence where once the mighty presses used to run.
Thank goodness for now those mighty presses are still running producing wonderfully bound books and glossy magazines, this is a small tribute to those presses.
