Richard,
Clip art and stock photography has been a tremendous drain on creativity.
We're going off on a tangent here. Clip art and stock has been around for years.
The fault lies elsewhere, starting with lazy teachers and students in mediocre graphics programs and schools that don't teach good foundations of design, typography, copywriting, production, and printing.
And since, over the years, computers have dropped to everyday commodity pricing (I paid around $22,000 for my original Mac, standard peripherals and software), many clueless folks now have them and figure if they load up with Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, and Acrobat, they too can be good designers. Having a good camera doesn't make one a good photographer. Having a good car doesn't make one a good driver. Having a good stove doesn't make one a good cook. Having a good credit card doesn't make one a good dresser.
Neil
