Well, no, it doesn't. the time is wasted doing computer 
related things and dealing with clients who believe there is 
little time involved in the artist making up fifty versions of 
something so they can reject them all out of hand because they 
couldn't seem to convey to the artist what it was they wanted. 
After all, you just push the button and the design appears on 
the screen, right?

Granted, often at considerable expenditure of time and 
frustration. Had much experience with software?

A mediocre graphic artist is a mediocre graphic artist whether 
they are working on a computer or not. Much like a mediocre 
tuner, be it with a computer or a fork.
