Question

Moses asked his design teacher for advice before he started his first internship as a print designer. Which statement from his teacher reflects the MOST accurate advice? “Print design is the most exacting kind of design you can do. The devil is in the details.” “Digital print design in the twenty-first century is less and less about operating physical machines and more about running software programs.” “Print design is no different from other types of design. It still comes down to understanding your customers and meeting their needs.” “Designing for print is not as creative as other forms of design, but as a print designer, more people are likely to see your work.”

Answer 1

“Digital print design in the twenty‑first century is less and less about operating physical machines and more about running software programs.”

Reason: most print work today focuses on file creation, layout, color management and prepress preparation in tools like InDesign/Illustrator/Photoshop and exporting correct PDFs (PDF/X, bleeds, trim, resolution, color profiles). Actual press operation is often done by specialists. That said, you still need to understand printing processes, substrates and proofing so your digital files produce the intended physical result.
