Are You in Style? Or Out?

Communication in it's simplest form can be defined as the exchanging or imparting of information or news. In essence, this hasn't changed at all. We still exchange and impart information and news anywhere and everywhere and to anyone who will listen. It's the methods of HOW we communicate now in the digital era that have changed.

The "old" style more often than not was that of face-to-face communication. It then delved into radio and television and all of the news and information we could now glean from hearing or watching. Now as we progress in a very digital age, the style in which we communicate is more sophisticated
and progressive that you have to keep up or be left behind.

Now in the "new" style you can watch "TV" on social media platforms. You can use YouTube, Instagram, Facebook via your digital tablet, your computer, your smartphone, and more to exchange or impart that information or news you once sought out on an actual television set.



So, are you "in" style with how you watch television? Or are you "out" of style and using the archaic form of television?

Visual Communication

As an artist, designer and creator it's important that I stay up to date on applications, programs and other things I can use to create. As a marketer and communicator the same can be said because I need to be able to communicate to my audience in a manner that caters to what they want. If I want to utilize social media to get my message out, it's important that I not only make sure my statement reaches my audience, but my visual content is designed in a manner that is easily readable. This is often a step missed in communication because we think we can just put our message out there by informal means, when in reality if we want to stand out it must be designed accordingly. This requires training on a communicator and marketers part. An easily accessible application that is now available on a smart phone or tablet (and computer) is that of Canva.
