Trigger Happy: Interactive Media Design

In today's modern society, exchange of information and marketing strategies have completely transformed from books, newspapers and fliers to those seen and heard on televisions and radios. And of course, the invention of computers and the introduction of digital forms of communication like the internet have brought about a new face in the world of media and information technology. The new media design is based on just what people mostly see when they pop in CD's, multimedia instructional discs to know more about certain applications, gadgets and even to read books.

This new design media has made things more convenient for people to share information with almost everyone without spending too much time on training people one by one. Through the internet, people can now browse through pages and pages of modules, newsletters, and manuals without lifting a finger or flipping pages. Imagine yourself looking at your screen and with just a few mouse clicks, you will be able to learn more about everything under the sun. You are not just fed with the information, but you now have the opportunity to choose, skip and repeat certain information without ripping out several books. This is called interactive media design. Interactive means you have the ability to really control where things would go and which things should be left out or included. Businesses as well as certain companies or institutions have quickly adapted this design media to be in tune with technology's current hit. Interactive websites have been created to make everyone's browsing and learning experiences convenient and informative at the same time. On a lighter note, interactive designs can even be applicable to a lot of online games that you are so addicted to. Zombies, aliens and cartoon characters are just there awaiting your orders. You can also have fun and play with your photos, edit facial expressions and features without ruining the entire photographs.

For someone interested to be a part of the growing media design company, you should be highly skilled on technology and you should also have a very creative mind. Since interactive media design is just your run of the mill application, a dull mind would not get you anywhere. Luckily there are several schools that offer interactive design media where you can learn everything about your chosen course. But if you plan to find jobs that are related to design media, you can check out your local job listings under: social media developers and creators, online writers, developing websites and even newspaper lay out artists. The opportunities also offer careers in film-making, marketing or advertising and even the world of online gaming. But no matter what job you land on, interactive and new media design is the perfect learning tool for everyone.
