How often do you read a newspaper?

Introducing CS5.5 - YouTube

During my editing stages I will be using the new CS5.5. Therefore I chose to conduct some research into what CS5.5 will entail and if there are any plans are for upcoming updates of the program. Apple is a giant in new technologies and therefore if I want to create a newspaper and utilise every feature to gain an audience I need to be aware of the new technologies that are available and be competent in using them. Fraser said that digital technology is 'a broader version of conventional literacy which enables all visual, aural and digital forms, seeking to enable people to become thoughtful producers and interpreters of media'. CS5.5 links to this because it allows anyone to become a producer of something incredibly creative. 


Gauntlett (2007) said ' conventional research methods are replaced - or at least supplemented by new methods which recognise and make use of people's own creativity and brush aside the outmoded notions of 'receiver' audiences and elite 'producers.' CS5.5 follows these conventions, it makes use of peoples creativity by bringing in new conventions and products.

  1. Good research here on technological advancements within the production element of your coursework. Application of relevant theorists also boosts this.
