This essay has highlighted a lot to me, from graphic design and new media really going hand in together. As graphic design is a form of communication and new media is a way of hosting this in an more interactive and exciting way than traditional methods. With new media we are able to communicate from one on one or many to many due to the community and instant communication available to us. New media isnt flat but an interactive narrative, should through basic elements like the hyperlink which allows on screen designs take you any where from videos to documents to... Whatever you require.

So does this change what a graphic designer is? Does it evolute graphic designers into interface designers? "Technology develops itself, new techniques emerge, creativity raises and different designs are generated."
