Digital
Media
We are living in an age of media revolution where computer
technology is transforming the means of communication at
unprecedented fast rate. The transition in media communication
is multifaceted manifesting in different hybrids of computer
technology. The multiplicity of communication options is
being taken as the greatest achievement of our time. The
complex growth on the other hand has its unavoidable by-product
of growing chaos. Management of these newly evolved complex
means of communication has itself become a great field of
knowledge. Since new technology continues to have great
impact on design education, the computer has become as basic
and integral to the design process as pencil. In order to
remain on the leading edge of innovation for the artists
and designers, the computer is being taken as the most versatile
medium. New & rapidly emerging computer technologies
are providing students & professionals with unprecedented
opportunities for visual exploration.
The advent of interactive multimedia has
transformed the computer from a powerful tool into a medium
in itself. As the boundaries among the image making marketplaces
continue to converge, designers & artists conversant with
technological & creative languages of computer will be
well positioned to understand, utilize and contribute to whatever
the future brings.
