Is the Invention of Graphic Art Software threatening to the Illustration industry?
By graphic art software, Im referring to Adobe Photoshop/GIMP/PIXLR and other computer based programmes that are used to make digitally rendered images. I feel this question is good because it poses an attitude towards photoshop that it is in someways hindering artists in the modern age.
What is meant by the "illustration Industry"? Commercial? Editorial? All artwork in a commercial context is technically illustration.
has adobe made the price of photoshop so expensive, to separate the professionals from the hobbyists?
How has the invention of Graphic Art software effected the Illustration Industry in the last 16 years?
Aiming to focus on how ever developing graphic art software has changed the illustration industry since the turn of the millennium. (The digital age)
How has photoshop developed? what features has it gained in order to make image making even easier?
Going back to an article I found http://www.brittonmdg.com/the-britton-blog/drawing-a-comparison
It raises the question of if or not roles of illustrators/graphic designers/photographers are being merged...
"The “speed and plasticity” of design software subtly de-emphasized the prior roles played by photographers and illustrators"
