Reflection

While exploring the issues that are present in publications and design, it appeared to me that there are more than what the society notices. Some may perceive a photo manipulation as a common habit of a photojournalist, but they do not realize that this photojournalist may have breached a certain code or privacy. The society would only come to realize these issues individually when they are faced with such problems. “ It stands to reason that new media designers might have something to learn from the study of language, that it might pay to approach new media with the long-established and tried and proven concepts and methods of linguistics” quote from Martinec & van Leeuwen (2009). The media have to constantly face and accept challenges that arise in the publishing and designing industry as both this fields are closely related to the emerging of technology.
