Quality graphic design should be affordable for everyone.
I became a Graphic Designer for the specific purpose of helping a client achieve their artistic expression even though they didn't have the tools to do so themselves. I have often said that the clients input is what makes my job so rewarding. If I did not want that input, I would have become a studio fine artist (not that I don't enjoy that, you can view fine art projects here).
The best part, though, comes at the end of a project, when a client looks at a finished piece and says "Yes, that is exactly what I had in mind"
