This week I learned that graphic design includes both print and web versions. There are clear differences between the two and neither is the better overall as they each have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Graphic design in print is easier to access and view, portable, tangible and familiar to all. The downfall to print is that it is more expensive and room is limited so less information can be included. Print also must be distributed to reach it's intended audience which can be difficult and costly.
The web version of graphic design is much less expensive to produce, more colors are available and there is much more room to include information as each website can contain several pages that are acessed individually. Additionally, web pages can be viewed from a computer anywhere in the world. The downside to web design is that it cannot be viewed by those without a computer and those who can acess it face the typical challenges associated with computer technology, such as difficult portability and limited acessability due to poor signals, low batteries and varying browers.
