Constrained by language. If my language doesn’t have a way to express the thought or feeling that I really want you to understand, I borrow a word or phrase from another language. We’re all used to that. But when it comes to using design applications, we just can’t do that (at least, not very easily). If I want to instantly convert an InDesign layout to a Web page, I’m out of luck. If I want to format a long block of text by using nested styles in QuarkXPress, same roadblock. I’m not happy that my tools are constraining my ability to express myself. Somehow, they’ve managed to ‘keep me down on the farm’, even though ‘I’ve seen Paris.’ Maybe there’s a plug-in I can get that will let me do these things.
