I'm looking for pointers to workstations that could be used
by a graphics artist for designing letterheads, logos, trademarks,
etc. Apparently clients don't have enough vision to look at
rough sketches and see the final product. One approach would
be to generate a color picture on a monitor, take a picture
(probably slides), and then display the idea(s) for the clients
in full color. Probably what is needed here is a 1024 x 1024
color graphics board(s) and a monitor that can display the
needed resolution. There is a need to display many colors, at least
64 and preferably 256. The high resolution is needed because of
the need to display multiple fonts and sizes of characters. I assume
that a bit-map will be needed to provide the flexibility of placing
arbitrary characters in arbitrary positions on the page. Graphic
design software and support for many fonts is a plus but not
strictly necessary. I realize this package won't be cheap but I'm
wondering if it can be done for $10K-15K. Any pointers or suggestions
would be appreciated (particularly solutions under $10K).
