THE FUTURE

I suspect that 'digital' will affect my aims for the future in a number of ways. As an illustration student, it's likely I will end up doing freelance work and an online portfolio has been essential for a number of years. The interent is a cheap and relatively easy way in which to reach a huge number of people all across the world, and it is no longer necessary to discuss a brief with a client in person. However its constantly evolving nature means it's difficult to predict what outlet will be most effective by the time I graduate. Myspace, for example, was responsible for launching a number of music artists, but now appears to be all but dead. It will be important to keep a look out for trends and I am already doing this via other people's blogs (and in my own personal blog).
