Just Add Water - Kinda like Royalty Free Photography but these are, well, designs. Irony is thick here

Clients can choose a variety of fonts online and even see how they'll look in the layouts. The new venture's website states "never before has world-class media design been so available, so accessible, so affordable." Pictured above are two of the formatted templates. Left is the "Trumbull," a city/regional magazine format, and right is "Vernier," for trade and B2B mags. 

Sooo... let me see. There are now 'templates' that publishers can buy and go around having to hire a publication designer. And judging by the comments, it is a real problem for the publication designers.

I just want to know how many of them ever used royalty free and micro-stock? I mean... you know. Seriously.

As a photographer, I feel their pain. And as soon as I stop laughing at the incredible karma moment, I will get all serious again.

Just, you know, give me a minute.
