Time flies. The clock keeps ticking, and without fail, the sun religiously rises and falls day in and day out. We witness the seasons passing as the years systematically march on. Out with the old and in with the new. Forever, we are leaving one passage of life and entering another―it's non-stop. Is this a good thing? For digital art and photography it is! Digital artists have made their inroads into the art world and are gaining acceptance! For proof, look at what the universities are teaching art students now! Today's artists can digitally manipulate their oil paintings and quickly reformat their artwork from their own computers. Not bad! Mixed media is now the norm! Mixing more than one medium per piece is commonplace. Using more than one software to accomplish one layout has also become commonplace. The trend to mix mediums will continue to increase as artists continue to learn new technology. Enhanced photography and digital photography will continue to gain in popularity because it works! Visual communication continues to rely on photographs, but this time digital photographs! NO MORE LAB DELAYS EITHER! If you are contemplating learning software and learning how to shoot digitally, you might as well jump in. Digital art and photography are not about to go away.
