The computer has become the designers security blanket. Theyre expensive, we love them, they give us cachet but they also give us limits that only pen/cil and paper can overcome. Architects dont build buildings by just starting construction and seeing where things go. Same principals should go for graphic designers. Our computers are a tool to execute our ideas and our best ideas come from our mind to our hand. I would argue the best design work still shows the hand of the designer in some form or fashion. For a designer to become a great designer, they must start with drawing. As usual, Sesame Street put it best.
