Blog: Wiki So Far

As I am familiar with what new media services artists use to market themselves to the public and to potential businesses that would like to commission them for their games, business, advertisements, etc., I will be looking in expanding information in aforementioned art-sharing websites posted on our New Media Wiki site.

By taking from my own experience and looking into the platforms themselves, I will also be including how platforms like Twitter and Instagram that were initially meant for social media, has become another platform for artists to share their art on and how artists have positioned themselves to make use of the features each platform offers (like hashtags, Moments, Lists, and so forth).

In addition, I will also be looking at other art-sharing websites that do not seem to be mentioned in our wiki, but are very commonly used by many artists, not secluded to the USA alone.

In terms of appearance, I have also noticed the position of some images in the wiki can be improved and I noticed some spelling errors in names of programs or games, so I will be looking into editing those as well.

Blog v Wiki

Blogs and wikis are similar in that they both communicate information by either a single individual, a consultative group, or a series of individuals. Even though blogs are mostly advertised as the kind published by a single person, there are many instances in real life where a group of people post in one blog and often sign the specific individual's name on the said post. Nevertheless, the differences are apparent: a blog is more controlled but restricted in terms of the public's influence and a wiki is more lenient but susceptible to an internet predator's touch or an irresponsible editor. But both help connect individuals all over the world and help in the distribution of information with a simple click. In today's networked world, it's important people are able to reach information in an array of mediums and people have the ability to read each other's voices with ease. It's especially important to hear more voices and opinions, more standpoints and...

Blog: Advice

Since we're in a highly technological era, constantly developing as more ideas flourish by innovators, it's important to integrate new media into our institution and education.  Something that's quite prevalent is the use of mobile apps by students for convenience. There are plenty of apps out there that allow students to create their own schedules with the times and dates and input their assignments and due dates. However, there are plenty of students who don't want to bother inputting every time stamp and having to add in every future assignment listed in their syllabus. In addition, it is time-consuming to input all the future homework and class information into an app and even more aggravating when the app turns out to be a complete flop after using it for a few days. What I propose is an app made by Baruch that is specifically catered to the institution's system of communicating classes. The app can allow for widgets on the screen to make it easier fo...

Next New

Although it's difficult to think of something entirely newly invented, I think a really handy new media product for artists would be a device or an application if you will, that can capture a pose made in real life and convert it to a 3D model for reference. This would be an app on the phone and you would take a picture of the "model" and pose in real life and it would convert it to a 3D model. You would then have the choice of customizing it, so perhaps you can include lighting on the 3D model for ease of reference for a light source. Of course, for the sake of convenience, this app will be able to convert the file to several formats — PNG, JPEG, PSD. Why PSD? I imagine you could take a picture of several "models" (keep in mind there can be more than one model) and you would be able to alter their position slightly via layers as you're working on the artwork. The app should also let you upload an existing picture and highlight where the desired model is, so...
