… things are settling to a point where the physical and the digital have a much more co-operative relationship. For instance, it’s a commonplace that people no longer print their family snaps because everything is taken on digital cameras; but now the ease of digital publishing means that, if you choose to, you can design and order up a much more sophisticated photograph album than you ever could before. Equally, digitisation is encouraging the growth of small magazines, fostering a new burst of creativity, and traditional publishers can print on demand.
