The problem with most design professionals is they are not computer and software enthusiasts. The use a computer to get their job done and what their software cannot do, they don't do.

I think in terms of keeping up with the state of the art, FreeHand (including FH 10 which I reviewed for Communication Arts Magazine--next issue) is light years behind. DRAW, Illustrator 10 and of course Xara X have much more evolved features. On the other hand, for someone in advertising, FreeHand is probably a good choice. It's text tools are very good, although maybe not as thorough as DRAW and Illustrator.

But more to the point, these guys don't spend time in conferences like this. They don't read computer magazines and most of all, they don't want to (god forbid) learn any thing new!

If the art director was creating web graphics, you probably would have had a better time getting his attention.
