Digital media is a multifaceted towards its constant development in respect of multiple programming and their application to explore all the possibilities in view to design approach and process. Computer technology does not transcend the inspiration of human being. Computer has a limitation in design process. Computer is a means to an end, it's a tool that should not direct, dictate how you approach things. Digital techniques cannot produce the acceptable outcome as I desire, its application is very clear in many respect but not sensitive. Computer is an indispensable tool. Some image is very difficult and harder to profess and purport in digital image.
On the other hand, sometimes hand-crafted and digital work both is capable for creating beauty. We cannot abstain from the digital design though the digital and analogue have their own virtue.
Today computer is too advanced and the possibilities are endless to explore. Analogue and digital method can co-exist very well while working outside and inside the computer. Keeping visual in mind, think how the image will look working outside the computer. Then try to explore all the possibilities inside the computer.
In the computer you can interpret and enhance all sorts of options pertaining to different applications and add desirable contemporary effects and twist as per your need which is not possible by hand.
Drawing is a primary tool of expression and evolution of technology can't affect on their creativity. Exploration of new techniques and use of technology spiral with creative boosting of idea and concepts can be the excitement drive to graphic solutions and visualization technology for effective and powerful communication. Growing technology and creative talents enhancing the communication industry and boosting towards a playful approach to create something new.
Students should deeply involve in this reciprocal process of growing technology and creative thinking for communication industrial output. Either communication industry will say as per famous saying "I have no use for you," your effortless attitude results to old saying "no pain non gain."
