Yep, and once everyone got a computer, suddenly it was "good enough" since they did it themselves. We used to get files to output to film or the wide format inkjet printer. I can't count how many people had a dark blue background and red letters. AGH. That is almost painful to read, and so very common.
It was the beginning of the end for the photolab business. No one wanted to pay for quality, just "good enough" was enough. It really made a true professionals work stand out, but they were all starving. There are few real commercial professional photographers anymore. Lots of wedding and family picture takers, and "art" photographers. Try to get a really quality food photographer, or someone to go shoot photos of an airplane, or something that has to be shot on site. Even harder is architectural interiors of a commercial site, or high end home. It is 1000 times easier now with digital and photshop, still not easy.
