print design

experience is a factor

One thing is for sure, the design industry is much greener than it was back then. Today, the tools designers have at their disposal, in terms of power and ease-of-use, are impressive indeed. However, the "peripheral" skillset required to do the job seems to be shrinking. My skillset is quite broad, and I believe there is great value in that over just knowing how to hit the "Print" button. I'll let you, the audience, decide which skills are valuable to your needs, but these are just some abilities you may require that you don't always get by hiring someone new to the game:
