Often, digital media designers have a problem that they don’t know how to fix. Nowadays, the internet is a very good place to find information. When trying to find information there are many things to consider. Some of these are credibility, currency, and quality. When all of these needs are met, the information is reliable and a good source to use.
This link above is a good example of a place to find information about how to complete a needed task. All of the information that Adobe provides is updated frequently. As they update the programs, they also update the tutorials. The people who post the information are people who work at Adobe. These people are professionals in their field. To be hired at Adobe, workers must have a vast previous knowledge of design and information technology. Adobe does not use any form of gatekeeping mechanisms. The information is always clear and easy to follow. The website uses step-by-step instructions to help users understand the information. This resource will be helpful in the future in case I need to find out more information about a topic.
This website is a good place to turn to for coding knowledge. The website is updated occasionally as coding normally doesn’t change. It is unclear who is exactly who is posting the information but the website claims that it is a member of their team. The website uses advertising as a gatekeeping method. They chose to promote companies like HP and Breezeline. The quality of the information is easy to follow and gives the base codes which users then can fill with their own information. This is a website that I have previously used and may use in the future.
This YouTube channel is very helpful to understanding different programs. The channel is updated frequently. The oldest video on the channel is 5 years old. The CreativePro team are highly experienced in the design field. They post credible information that is easy to understand and follow. However, their YouTube channel uses multiple methods of gatekeeping. Some of these are algorithms, social media, and filter bubbles. I will use this YouTube channel in the future when I need a visually tutorial.
