Pros of using technology
First, technology has made it possible for graphic designers to perform tasks that were previously impossible. Editing programs like Photoshop allow designers to manipulate images with extreme precision.
Technology has also enabled designers to work more efficiently, automating repetitive tasks and collaborating remotely with global clients.
Cons of using technology
However, excessive reliance on technology can affect creativity. Instead of relying on human judgment, designers might become overly dependent on digital techniques, leading to uniform styles.
Furthermore, technology dependence can lead to health issues such as headaches, eye strain, and repetitive strain injuries from sitting in front of a screen for too long.
Finding a balance
How can we find a balance? Remember that technology is a tool, not a substitute for creativity. Take regular breaks to protect your health, and don't forget traditional art tools. Exploring watercolor, ink, and freehand drawing can add a unique human touch to your digital workflows.
