Live Streaming

Viewing movies and television has come a long way in how accessible it is. In the past, if we wanted to watch a movie we'd have to go purchase or rent the DVD. If it was a new movie, you'd have to go to the theater to watch it, or wait for it's DVD to come up for rent or purchase. 

How things have changed in how we view these items. Now the options of live streaming services are easily accessible and at the ready. You can instantly view content via your phone, your computer, your tablet, or on your television if you have a smart TV. 

Applications such as Hulu, Netflix and YouTube TV to name a few allow us the access to view as much content as we choose for one small fee. 




We no longer have to go anywhere to purchase or rent movies. The easily accessible streaming services available to us allow us to change our consumption. Technology has advanced so readily that even the way in which movies are produced as changed. 

How do you view your content? Are you still a broadcasting service purchaser? Do you stream live via an application?

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 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. "Canva  is a user-friendly design tool that makes it possible for businesses, marketers, bloggers, and other individua

News Consumption

In the days of old, consumption of news, or things deemed worthy to be informative to the people was often found in formats that are quickly sliding into the past. Formats such as print advertisements, magazines, and even print newspapers are quickly loosing their edge to the digital age. Image via Google Now news consumption is accessed across a broad selection of digital platforms such as Google, Yahoo! News, social media and more. In a digital news report in 2015 (Hand, 2018) , it was found that individuals consume news more in the following ways: 11% paid for news online 26% accessed it thru a smart phone 32% shared news stories through email and social media (Hand, 2018). News consumption has changed because we now often don't even garner it from newsworthy sites. We see news without seeking out news via our platform of choice.  Image via Google How do you consume news? Are you of the age who still purchases a newspaper, as my own parents do? I have vast

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.

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 m
