"I was excellent at what was called 'paste-ups and mechanicals' in the graphic design world. In order to print any design, I used to have to 'spec type,' which means determining how much space a particular typeface or font will fill at different font sizes. Then I would messenger that request to be hand delivered to a 'type house' (there was no email, texting, or even faxing), who would then set that type, print it out, and messenger it back to me. This might take three to four days."
"Then, I would roll melted wax on the back of that type, cut it out of the paper, and carefully position it (paste it) onto a sheet of white cardboard on which I had drawn the dimensions of the graphic design element I was creating. The process is now possible in the blink of an eye."
