Computers: A Wonder To Design
As I was browsing the hundreds of graphic design sites, specifically abduzeedo.com, I couldn’t help but marvel at the insane amount of talent in the industry: some of the things that these guys can create on a computer are just mind boggling. Images of the impossible (monsters, aliens, abstract stuff,etc.) are rendered from scratch to a photo realistic quality, sparing no expense to detail. This leads me to marvel at the advancements in computer technology, which allows designers to create such works.
I believe that the computer is the ultimate medium because the precision of a computer cannot be matched. Vector lines on digital files can be sized any which way and can be edited at anytime, unlike any other non digital mediums. Computers can replicate any medium, not in texture but in appearance (ex. acrylic, oil, air brush,etc.). Also much like an artist layers his paintings, digital files can be layered and edited an infinite amount of times until the desired effect is achieved such as highlights, shadows, etc. Also computers allow us to change the canvas size and print out designs in any size, which is huge in marketing and would be impossible without the advanced technology of the twentieth century.
Without the advancements in computer technology, design would not be the same, and not possible to the same degree. Today, the sky is the limit for what you can achieve on the computer, and all it takes is a little creativity and inspiration… and of coarse a lot of skill.
