Print vs Online Designing

When I am doing Assignment 2 for Issues in Publication and Design, I have to do both printed and online version of subject, ‘Airheads’. Just a Microsoft PowerPoint can allow me to design freely to my expected result. However, this is not as easy for website. No doubt I did learn some HTML language before, I am still not well-versed in it. Hence, in designing website, more time is required as there are a lot of limitations in web designing. I have to take note not to squeeze too many information in the webpage as online user has the screen limitation whereby, more information will require more scrolling and it’s added strain to the eyes.

For print, I have more space for creativity with the different kind of texture, sizes and different fold, etc to play with.

No doubt, for convenient sake, I prefer to look for information online. However, when it comes to designing, I still prefer PRINT…
