I am going to have to ingeneral agree with you. There will always have to be people out there who know a little bit about everything and can understand the proccesses that are involved in a entire advertsing, marketing or branding campaign. I for instance know a bit about everything and can at least speak the language for any medium. I however can not myself do anything. Which is why I am a person whom oversees and gives direction to a entire campaign and give direction to the truely talented people out there like yourself. I am always hesitant to work with people whom say they can do it all for me, down to every last detail. They very well may beable to design my brand image, make me a website, brochure and ads all by themselves; however, the quility of the work will always suffer. For something truely great you need people that are passionate and talented about a single thing, but have a understanding of related things. Because without understanging of related mediums the whole of the campaign becomes disjointed. Interesting thoughts Kev… I am going to have to ingeneral agree with you.

I can't say I have any solid answers either. I think you have to want to learn though, so I guess whether it's worth investing the time or not is a personal thing that really depends on you.
