    i think that in print especially, the element of craftsmanship is much more apparent, and therefor much easier to appreciate. you really lose that quality on the web. not to insinuate craftsmanship is foreign to the web as a medium, it's just that it is usually behind the scenes, in the code or the ia. in fact the more polished a website is, the less apparent it is to a user.

    web is also much more of an experiential medium. again screenshots do little to convey the care put into the backend. as a design you can look at a photo or series of a printed piece and have a pretty good idea of its finish and production quality. the same cannot be said of a website.
