Week 7 : ITAP

ITAP : Week 7


Delivery

There are many different platforms that illustrators, Graphic designers and photographer’s can use to deliver and promote their communication, which could even effect how the work looks.

One platform is Editorial magazines, this is can be used by all three above as it’s a simple platform where most people start their careers and can get a message out to readers who are interested in the area.

Another platform which is used is: Advertising, as this can be spread across from billboards to posters seen on walls, and is a easy way of communicating to a larger audience as more people are likely to see it, compared to seeing it within a magazine.

Other platforms can also be used such as: Publishing, Textile and Fashion however using an online platform can be a bigger advantage than the all the above mentioned as it can be accessed around the world, and communication can be spread.


Medium

Most Illustrators, Graphic designers, film makers and photographers tend to use the internet in these modern day to promote and represent themselves, and can be done using different websites which use different techniques to spread information.

Facebook is one of the biggest social networking websites on the Internet in which people display information about themselves and can upload images and videos to their own personal page, which friends and other can see.  The Facebook website is now used a lot by illustrators, Graphic designers and photographers as they are able to make groups to promote their businesses and are able to display work.  Facebook also allows you to send personal messages, making it easier for communication.

YouTube is another, as it displays millions of videos uploaded around the world. This website is mostly used by filmmakers as it’s the perfect environment and videos can be uploaded in a variety of formats. The YouTube website can also be used by Graphic designers, Photographers and Illustrators, however their work must be presented in a video format such as a slide show. The most useful advantage of using YouTube is that you are able to get feedback via comments or likes/dislikes which can help gather research into whether a piece of work is successful or not.


Another website which is used by all people working in different fields are blog websites such as Tumbler as they give you the ability to post information, photographs, images and videos on your own personal web space which anybody can access and you are also able to get feedback in similar ways to the ones used on YouTube.

Using website’s to promote and represent is common in today’s world, as it’s easier to communicate through and also gives you the ability to have more space than before , and is why more and more people are starting to use the internet.
