Most of my projects have moved from the sitting behind a screen and figiting phase, to standing around for hours waiting for the damned printer to spit out the final product. I was here, at school, last night till round 12am, waiting in a long line of hopeful print-havers, patiently hoping for a good print. When the prints arrived, they were beautiful. All the waiting paid off. Around 1:30am as I was meticulously cutting and pasting my mini booklet together, I came to the realization that I had formatted six pages backwards, so I had all of these upside down holes in my booklet, therefore ruining it competely. So, now I sit, quietly waiting behind a long line of hopeful print-havers with 30 minutes to spare until the deadline. Sometimes I wonder why I put myself through all this. Digital printing is highly overrated, unless of course you have the finances to afford your very own, high quality laser printer for personal use, which still contains its very own set of problems.
More importantly, there is a big issue regarding "font stealing" and whether or not font bundles are a good thing for users and designers alike, or just a way of getting lotsa crap for a low cost. Read this discussion at typophile, it is an on going concern, similar to what the music indistry is facing with the mp3 trend.
