Digital media in Rhode Island is a magical specialty of technology and art. Today, Mr. Guangguang will analyze the major of Digital Media for you. Digital Media is a versatile specialty that has learned everything from plane to interaction to device. (We will take RISD's Digital Media major as an example for course analysis!)

Digital Media actually refers to digital media, a kind of communication media encoded in digital form.

In the 21st century, when new media almost dominate the world and traditional media led by paper media are hard to breathe, digital media is the most efficient export and display platform for almost all data and information.

Digital Media, as a very contemporary profession in the 21st century, is almost the most eye-catching form of expression in the fast-paced era.

At the beginning, Digital Media learned graphic design, made posters, magazines and manuals, and then interactive design, game development, as well as interactive devices that are biased towards science and technology. In some colleges and universities, it also learned video editing, video post, etc.

With RISD, Rhode Island School of Design For example:

RISD DM is a two-year master program. During the two-year master's study, students should complete 12 courses and one graduation design.

The DM of RISD is biased Digital Media Art , rather than Digital Media Technology, aims to complete artistic creation in the way of digital media, so there will be some artistic bias in the curriculum.

Works from graduates

You can clearly feel this:

Most of them are artistic creations in the form of digital media, such as interactive devices, visual works, etc.

Rhode Island DM Physical Computing This course is to provide technical support for DM Art, such as basic power knowledge, computer knowledge, including some common sense and principles biased towards engineering.

What students need to do is to follow their teachers and find the entry point of art from these mechanical knowledge. Make all data tools that can be rebuilt your artistic expression.

　　 Digital+Media Theory , is to give theoretical support. Whether it is a split digital world, a media world, or a combined DM art, this course will use logical thinking and emotional art to give students a real core.
