The Web Is Dead... My Opinion??

This week in class we read an article from Chris Anderson y Michael Wolff. Both talk about how the Web now is being ignored because of the new technology that is now available in any store, and of the business like environment that some companies has brought up to the Web.

 When people were exploring the Web for the first time, they were amazed for the different access that it provided to them; also of the big information and communication advantages that brings to those who have access to it. After the WWW and Internet appeared, the TV was left aside and nowadays there are more technology advances that have done the same to the Web. I think that as long as new technology advances appear people will leave the past in the past; they will go for the most advanced devices, with more features, advantages, etc. So no one should be surprised if one of these days the ipad becomes useless and gets thrown out to the garbage because of a new devices that will pop up in the future.

Photoshop Mini - Assignment

 

Last week I was assigned to mix three different picture into one that talked about myself. My image contains a night scene with a bird flying above the ocean, and in the moon there's a wolf image. What I intended to describe with this picture was that I could be calm and quiet as the ocean and the moon in the picture, but also beautiful, and I also like mysteries; I'm like a wolf when it comes to reaching my goals, always taking care of my wolf pack! and like a seagull I like to discover new places, meet new people and have different experiences!!

Archan Nair

As my first post I want to talk about my favourite Visual Artist who is Archan Nair. Besides of being a Visual Artist he is also an Art Director and Illustrator in India. He produces visual arts and interactive designs for worldwide companies such as Canon, Dodge, Boss and others. His artistic work shows that imagination enters into reality, his multiple works on photo-manipulation associated with paint depicts a colorful and beautiful world. He may not be really recognized by a lot of people, but you don`t need to be famous to be talented, and indeed Nair is one of the most talented Visual Artist I have seen in these days.

I chose Archan Nair because his art work has inspired me to try and explore more areas of the arts, using different techniques and effects that injects the world of imagination into the real one. I believe that arts is not only a form of entertainment, but is also a form of expression as literature is. In our days it has become one of the most popular forms of expression because through our art work we are able to express ourselves, what we see, think and believe!. And it`s fun to create something new and different because it depicts who you are!
