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 you can always come back to old pictures taken to recreate new 3D models to upload. Of course, if you're by yourself, you can always take a picture of yourself doing the pose, as there would be a "countdown" feature on the app, where it will countdown from 5 or 10 seconds until it automatically takes a picture.

    Hi Nicole,
    I feel like this is an interesting thought because of the fact that this would be very helpful for a lot of people that are into clothing designs. They would be able to make poses and upload them to edit, giving them the ability to have a better prototype of what the real design will be like.

Blog: P2P

File sharing is the exchange or distribution of digital media between at least two individuals or more, often through the computer. There are different means of file sharing, such as using peer-to-peer (P2P) networking, centralized servers on computer networks, and removable media like USBs. Peer-to-peer file sharing or P2P file sharing, is when the user is able to share files or digital media through computer devices over the internet. Some examples of P2P file sharing include the use of pirating websites like KickassTorrents, OpenBitTorrent, and The Pirate Bay, which allow users to upload files of digital media for other users to download over the internet. There are other means of filing sharing that may not involve the public, such as sharing a file with a friend (friend-to-friend) and VPNs. Although file sharing in itself is not considered an illegal process, these websites are known for piracy of digital media. The Pirate Bay is noted as a "BitTorrent tracking site ...

Research Topic: New Media on Art and Entertainment

My research topic will revolve around how new media has impacted the art and entertainment industry. I will discuss how people in the arts and entertainment industry have benefited from the rise of social media, but also the complications that come with new media. Some examples include chargebacks, copyright infringement, theft, and so forth. I will delve into how new media has changed the way artists do commissions and how artists have grounded their business upon these new platforms. In addition, I will also branch into music, literature, movies, and other forms of entertainment and how it's been affected by the development of new media, as each type has their own story to tell.

Blog: Privacy

New media has certainly changed people's expectations of privacy, especially when things become digitized. Lots of celebrities and social media influencers have been thrown under fire and bashed for past tweets or posts they've once said. But even if they delete it, once it's on the internet, it'll stay there (as there's always a chance someone will screenshot and post the picture or repost an upload in a different site). I think there are many repercussions that come with the convenience and entertainment of new media. Nowadays, it's easy to say convenience often comes with a price, especially when it comes with the internet. For instance, when purchasing items from your favorite website, you can input your credit card number and make the purchase. For the sake of convenience, you may choose to save your credit card information with your account for easy and quick purchases. But with that ease of purchase, that convenience provided by the website, comes...
