Drug Facts Label Exercise

What had to change in the Drug Facts Section was continuing the label with another column on the right because the size of the box wasn't big enough for one narrow, long column.

I would make the uses bigger in font or bold the bullets in order to show the viewer what to use the drug for.  I would also make the warnings a little bigger in order allow the viewer to see what could happen if they take the drug under certain circumstances and the side effects of the drug.

This is the one example of a Drug Facts Label I had in my medicine chest.

Tristan Hom's New Media Questions Answered

The characteristics of New Media are digital and are usually manipulated, networkable dense, compressable, and interactive. Three similarities between new and traditional media are creating, publishing, and distributing. Three differences between new and traditional media are the digitizing of content into bits, the aspect of content production, and digital more than analog.  Four examples of traditional media include the television programs, magazines, books, and other paper based publications. Four examples of New Media are Internet, websites, computer multimedia, and DVDs. New Media is problematic because of technological determinism-more focused on technology rather than tracing the social networks. A new name for "New Media" could "Modern Media" or "Digital Media".
