The digital medium unlike traditional mediums provides opportunity for for things that otherwise would be impossible, like completely altering the color scheme of a picture or adding something to a picture that was not in the actual photo. These examples of digital design hardly even touch the possibilities that the digital medium holds. For me I feel that the biggest difference in the digital media is that it has the capacity to create exactly what you want, the only limitations are those of the artists creativity. Digital media opens up an entirely new world and perspective on self expression, and aspects of your work that were difficult to convey can now be illustrated to depict the exact experience and feelings felt at the time the picture was taken. Doing my situational tour in the metro I felt that the digital media made it the pictures come to life, just by looking at the pictures I could hear the trains rushing through the tunnels, the crowds of people conversing, and even smell the damp air. Which is something I sometimes struggle with in my drawings.
While at times it can be frustrating because of the complications of technology the digital medium takes artistic capabilities to a whole new level and is an extraordinary artistic medium that still has so much to be discovered.
