Drawing tablets and applications for different users of digital drawing by Cheuk Man Chung, Joyce, Design Studio Member, Feb 2021A lot of people like to draw and paint. Since access to technology is getting very wide spread in our societies, most people have thought about trying to do digital drawing. However, it is very hard to use a mouse to do digital drawing all the time. And a lot of beginners of digital drawing can easily have the misconcept that drawing tablets are very expensive or that if they are cheap, they will not last long or the functions are useless.From my perspective, there are mainly three types of users who would want advice on buying drawing tablets:Beginners who just want to try digital drawing, they are just doing that for fun.

Which tools have emerged as Lifesavers when working in Digital Media remotely? by Alessandro Gontay, Design Enterprise Studio Member, Feb 2021 Working in digital media during COVID-19 pandemic As the world recently faced the fast-spreading disease, COVID-19 or coronavirus, a lot of adjustments were made to the working culture in different fields, including the digital media area.

Lots of organisations and small businesses will struggle to survive this downturn of events, and television and film productions have already been hit heavily by the impact of the virus.The film and media industry provides entertainment that forms a huge part of everyone’s lives and is something we could not live without in current times.
