My understanding of web vs print

Designing for both mediums you have to consider your audience. With print you have to worry about the size of the piece and the capabilities of the printer if you want to stay local to keep costs down. Web design has to take into consideration everyone and anyone who will be visiting the site. This means having to accommodate every type of computer configuration so that the most people possible can view the site. However with today's graphic and design programs both print and web can be designed on the move. All that is needed is a sufficient laptop capable to do the work. However depending on the type of design for print or even web, a more robust desktop computer could be needed, thus limiting the mobility factor. And lastly, designing for print is more about art and designing for web is more about function.
