I hate to throw OT shade, but as a commercial artist, I'm gonna– the hero photo in this article shows the importance of my profession. Creating images is a lot easier than deciding how best to visually communicate an idea and conceptually manipulate the most relevant components. I probably could have made a vector drawing in 10 minutes, or a photorealistic image in photoshop in about 15 that would have done the job a million times better, and considering how much cheaper artists and designers are than developers, it probably would have been about the same labor cost if money was involved. I get it... It's a blog post... But it's seriously like the clipart revolution all over again, just without the guard rails provided by pre-made imagery.
