Digital revolution is a worldwide phenomenon that not only changed the way people live and connect with each other, but also the way designers think and create artworks to express themselves or certain ideas. In fact, new technologies have revolutionized the world of design, giving designers new possibilities, tools and sources of inspiration that could be more than helpful to improve their creative thinking skills. In reality, Digital revolution has provided us uncountable benefits, which we are going to cite, but in a way or another, it has limited our creativity. How is that possible?
From our very first moments on this planet, communication is the one thing that keeps us going, can you imagine a world without communication? Graphic design

Illustration art plays a huge role in our designs by making them kind of unique; but even though some artists still use pencils and ink, some would rather illustrate on a digital platform, thus Illustration art is still alive but it is kind of fading away with the evolution of technology.
Finally, interaction is key. People live off interaction, and the newest technologies were made to make it easier for designers to make a point, which is why they are based on interaction between the audience and screens. It’s a two ways communication. For example, interactive billboards such as the Nutella jar that throws compliments at you. How can you forget that a Nutella jar once gave you compliments? Digital media has truly found a way to engrave products or ideas in people’s heads in a very fun way.
In conclusion, Digital revolution is considered very beneficial for designers, it gave them new possibilities, ideas and easier ways of approaching art or sharing it for the whole world to see, even though it may sometimes limit their creativity, hide parts of their identity or expose them to plagiarism. It is worth it, if you ask
The use of technology is debilitating our ability to think pensively. Carr demonstrates that relying on the internet reduces the use of our creativity flow in our brains. “The Web provides a convenient and a compelling supplement to personal memory - but when we start using the Web as a substitute for personal memory, by bypassing the inner processes of

The most important thing when interacting with other human beings is being able to communicate one another. People’s first mechanical way of communicating was with the invention of the telegraph, which was at first run by gas. It wasn’t until 1836, when Samuel F.B Morse, Alfred Vail, and Joseph Henry invented Morse code that our civilization had would be able to electronically communicate. Soon after, the first telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell which allowed people to vocally converse electronically from miles away. The invention of the telephone was then modified and eventually converted into a mobile cellular phone by Martin Cooper in...
Communication is key is any society. If we were unable to communicate with one another then how could our society grow and get better.
“An illustration is a visual editorial - it 's just as nuanced. ” or at least Charles M. Blow says. In all actuality, what would the world be without illustrations? As ironic as it may sound, the world would be flat without 2-dimensional illustrations. Illustrations bring more context to the world around us as styles and aesthetic expectations evolve. From cave paintings to Google’s Material Design, humanity has made many innovations in art and design. Thomas Nast deserves a spot in history for his contributions to aesthetic progress. Thomas Nast has made the world a much more aesthetically pleasing world with his revolution to integrate illustrations in media. His revolution ultimately created a more ethical world with his opposition against
Recent advancements in technology have changed society dramatically. Particularly, technology has improved communication throughout the world. The first form of communication other than speaking and letters ...
In a world where the reign of complexity rules with the strongest of influence, our ability to communicate with one another allows us to solve even the most difficult of situations. Even so, human beings take communication for granted, we possess the ability to communicate instantly from across the globe and in real time, we can alert others of danger within a minute 's notice, and keep our governments in check. Yet, we squander and misuse our communicative abilities to gossip about celebrity drama or the nonsensical events that take place within our society. However our ability may or may not be used, our potential to communicate is essential to our functionality and the survival of our interpersonal relationships
Technology and social change have long been vital in the evolution of graphic design and its importance in the society. In particular was the Industrial Revolution between 1760 and 1840, which brought about the transformation from agrarian to industrialized societies across Europe and America. Mass production was made possible by new technologies; availability and variety of goods increased and cost of manufacturing decreased, accompanied by the higher standard of living for many people. A consequence of mass production on graphic design was that it led to the demise of the unity between design and production. Craftsmen were replaced by modern technologies, sacrificing artistry for speed and cheaper production.
Social interaction is the very basis of social life and the foundation of society. Further growth and progress in society would not be possible without interactions between individuals. However, the presence of an individual as a function of society does not bind them into a social unit. It is when a group of people cooperate that allows society to develop. Therefore, interaction is the very essence of social process. Furthermore, communication is the medium of interaction. The ability to communicate with other individuals is an important element of human life in terms of interacting and developing our society. Individuals thrive from success through the approval of others. In communication, an individual develops from the views and opinions of another person. It is important to consider that as a result of society's development, our system of communication also changed. While maintaining the traditional way of communicating such as physical interactions, individuals turn to other forms of socializing through the use of video games and the internet.
Digitization: An ongoing process of creative destruction innovators use both new and established technologies to make deep changes at the level of the task, the job, the process, even the organization itself. (Erik Brynjolfsson, 2011)
The technological aspect of digital art often leads to questioning of whether or not it can be considered art. Digital art has been accepted and embraced by the commercial and entertainment industries for many years, but is finding it much harder to become part of the fine arts community. Digital art has many hurdles to overcome before it will be fully accepted by the mainstream tradit...
I feel very strongly that there is an indifference to painting in today’s society. In today’s technology age, a high value is not placed on aesthetics such as painting. American society is drawn more to television programs and sporting events than to operas and art galleries.
Throughout the ages art has played a crucial role in life. Art is universal and because art is everywhere, we experience it on a daily basis. From the houses we live in (architecture) to the movies we see (theatre) to the books that we read (literature). Even in ancient culture art has played a crucial role. In prehistoric times cave dwellers drew on the wall of caves to record history. In biblical times paintings recorded the life and death of Christ. Throughout time art has recorded history. Most art is created for a specific reason or purpose, it has a way of expressing ideas and beliefs, and it can record the experiences of all people.
Communication is not possible without language and “with language, any message, no matter how complex, can be conveyed.” Communication can be anything from shouting to another person to sending an email. Forms of communication have existed in various forms since man appeared on Earth. When you start with nothing, you have lots of room for improvement. From the invention of spoken language to communicating with smoke, forms of communication took leaps of advancement before the Common Era.
...h about technology and new media, I can totally say that it all depends solemnly on ourselves. How much time we put into it and how well we can manage our limits. Like anything else in life, moderation is the key. Technology has so many advantages when used properly, but when not used correctly can definitely turn against us. Furthermore, everything we do is a result of the media such as watching TV, reading the newspaper, surfing the internet just to mention a few. The media feeds us information and fundamentally tells us what is precise. It is the only one aspect which affects what we do in society, although it is an impressive aspect. Modern technologies can very well be a double-edged sword, from safety to connectedness. Once again, they do have their advantages, but as with many revolutionary inventions, they can radically change our lives, for better or worse.
