In this interconnected world of today the limitations are immense, but “if designers enjoy giving form to ideas” then there is always a solution to those barriers. So many possibilities add to the creative thought process of designers that they begin to serve the audience more. “If designers were made of ideas, they’d be their own clients. Creativity is difficult to obtain when a client has no idea what they want. We not only have to be creative on the spot but designers have to educate clients on quality and all the details to better serve their needs.
New media does present the “new” direction. Pleasing readers and the new generation suffering from attention deficiency order may be annoying and difficult for older people to grasp, but younger people will always risk it. The youth of today will be the first to jump on the wave of experiences of experimentation and discovery. But with any good idea comes history. A variation of a pre-existing idea, for example I just did a simple Google search on the Mona Lisa. The result was 155,000 different variations of the same painting, the same idea. Many designers and creator have taken this 16th century painting by da Vinci and re-created it to be amusing, or to fit the popular look for women today.
Absolutely designers need to reintegrate disparate fields to push ideas and results to the next level. People want to be visually entertained. It is a daunting task but someone has to do it. The New Media Reader contains a chapter titled The End of Books. The internet has taken on such a large part society. I’m struggling to recall he last time I cracked open a dictionary. This computer technology has amazing possibilities. The “incredible diversity of information available gives great credit to the creativity and ingenuity providers, and points to a very exciting future.” Damn straight! But where are we going to draw the line on technology? How much is too much? All these possibilities bring out a whole new issue with media.
The next big thing is unknown. Who knows where designers and the creative world will be in ten years, even in a matter of days it’s out with the old and in with the new. As an artist and designer I could care less about the next big thing. It is too exhausting to try and keep up all the time. Staying educated on the issues and possibilities at hand is important because we have to keep an open mind. I stop and think what is right for me to do and I stick by my choices.
