Digital Media Courses

It’s hard to imagine another industry that is as hooked into our changing lifestyles as digital media. For creative types with an interest in technology, it’s where the jobs lie, and for creative types who don’t have an interest in technology – well, it’s still where the jobs lie.

The post-network era gives a lot of prevalence to the digital media-maker – the kind of practitioner who uses great design to visualise information and make media which responds to its consumer. We’ve seen newspapers become interactive hubs and scheduled television morph into on-demand videos. Radio is created for downloading, not transmitting; Scrabble is played across time zones; magazines are designed for phones – in the digital sphere, media has completely converged.

It shouldn’t be too surprising. Since the invention of Pong, entertainment and computers have been inseparable, and even more so now – over half of us admit to media multitasking while we’re watching television at home. With such an appetite for digital consumables, designers and producers need to know their craft.
