   Comments: Our industry has slept on this issue for too long. We're the only design discipline not to be certified and it's time to take a real look at it and start moving toward industry certification.

    Comments: I've been a Graphic Designer with a degree since the mid-sixties (before computers) when you actually had to have some artistic talent and skills. I cringed when I asked a prospective employee to discribe the main principles of layout and design - and all I got was a blank stare. BY ALL MEANS, GO FOR THE CERTIFICATION.

I cringed when I asked a prospective employee to discribe the main principles of layout and design - and all I got was a blank stare. BY ALL MEANS, GO FOR THE CERTIFICATION. The time is PAST DUE
