Repost: Interview Responce to ppryor

Since a prepress demonstrator is a job encompassed in my major, I found this interview response to be the most significant to me personally. I also held the same belief that technical writing had almost no place in the graphics industry. Discovering that McGuigan felt it holds a small but important role is interesting. A point which contradicts a finding in my own interview is that “most communication that occurs within the industry is done verbally”. My interview conclusions showed that all communication internally is written, in order to leave a paper trail for accountability. This demonstrates the use and need for writing in the industry is as varied as the jobs themselves.
