Creativity

"New Media fosters creativity" is such a perfect statement. Graphic designing is huge in todays generation. All of these new websites to create your own design has sprung. The new Apple ipad has also come out with new features to create designs just by a few clicks. In one of the readings, it stated, "The tools required for new media creativity are easier to obtain and learn to use than those of traditional creative works". It is true. All of the tools are right at our hand. It is our choice whether to make something creative or not. My coworker/friend has his own clothing line and hat line called Goldfinger. But no one would have ever found out about the brand until Instagram and Snapchat and Twitter came out in order to showcase it off. People on social media end up spreading and sharing whats in style which is hipster/ streetwear. Therefore, people make a living off of this and it feeds through and starts with social media.

  1. I like how you touch on the economic impact of new media, specifically social media. Many celebrities and models such as the Kardashians and Hadids make a living off of their Instagram accounts. Not only does new media foster creativity, it also fosters economic growth.
