The graphic editor Photoshop celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. Up until the release of this magnificent graphic tool, it was a time-consuming and skilled labour to design and produce printed materials.

Sean Adams, professor at Art Center College of Design, demonstrates the process of re-creating the mockup of a print ad, that are being sent to the printer with layout instructions. So many people were simultaneously involved in this process, which make their work even more impressive.

The documentary and Kickstarter project "Graphic Means: A History of Graphic Design Production", due for release Summer 2017, will deal with this subject more extensively.
