Unit 5/14 Task 2C

                                                    Comparison
Digital publishing is a lot easier to access with most of it being online. This means that if you have a portable device of some sort you can access news articles websites and many other forms of digital publishing. Digital publishing products are also easier to edit and distribute to the world. When it comes to publishing products such as news digital versions are updated more frequently than traditional ones like newspapers.

With technology being a big part of the world now digital publishing is able to gather a wider audience with all the people who use phones, IPads, computers and other forms of technology. Portability also makes it more convenient for people to find different types of digital publishing such as news articles, websites, advertisements and more.

Traditional techniques is a much slower process then digital publishing. This makes it more of a drawn out process to go through that can be very boring and tiring. Many of these traditional methods involved some sort of device or equipment to make the publishing products. With digital publishing products like covers or advertisements only need a piece of software that can be found on the desktops of computers.  

Digital publishing can go across many different platforms and devices now due to conversion. This also helps with the convenience and accesses of digital publishing now that phones are able to do a lot more and we have technology such as IPad and other interactive media. With the wider audience that digital publishing generates it is able to noticed more and increase in consumers.

Aquatint is a traditional printmaking method of making drawing that has to be repeated many times to make the final image. This can be a long process to get an image of something like an animal. Now we have desktop apps that can be used to make an image in a much shorter time period. Said images even end up on magazine covers to attract an audience and even online.


The portability of smart phones, laptops and other devices makes it more convenient for people to find and create digital published products such as images, websites and much more. Portable devices also make it easier to generate a wide audience for the different types of digitally published products.

    Good - you have identified some advantages/disadvantages. You need to use key terminology (brief) using specific examples; use what you have put together in Task 2.B.
    Compare and evaluate the traditional techniques with digital publishing. Consider the role of printing v electronic format; Desktop Publishing software; multi-media capture / integration. What are the advantages of digital publishing in terms of audience, portability, convenience, updating? Write a report covering these points.
