Digital media, a term unfamiliar to some, is the next generation of art promising an innovative new solution to the stagnant art world. Programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Flash, Dreamweaver and Fireworks make it possible for artists to create a revolutionary new field that transcends all previous notions of imagery and interactive art. Richard Lewis and James Luciana co-authored the book Digital Media: An Introduction also created one of the first Digital Media Bachelor of Science in the country at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York. Their students are the first of many future digital art technicians that will take the world to the next level of imagery, interactive design, animation and photography. I hope to be one of them. |
