Design Statement: the Daily NewspaperThe primary design challenge was how experience design process can improve the major daily newspaper in the future to conform to future technological demands.The old fashioned ways of writing newspaper in which news was only conveyed through written papers have become outmoded. Readers are now resorting to more appealing news modes of news streaming with a lot of graphics setting in. The daily newspaper began back in early 19th century. The traditional printing was the only mode of operation was the only of producing newspapers.
With no internet or web based ways of reaching out to the readers, a more advanced approach to technology was improvised. The daily newspaper is owned by Toronto Star who wants to change and adopt the future technology. Although the daily newspaper is meeting the needs of readers, it must adapt to technology and also conform to the demands of readers across the globe and also reach its target audience. The change to new technology should not be a hard issue to solve. The newspaper must contain more dynamic and user appealing transmission.
The use of 3-dimensional mode of image display must also be applied so that it can attract more readers and also be able to compete for global viewership. It must provide dissemination of information through high quality display and more reader seductive techniques.The existing dynamics are not enough to appeal to the highest number of viewership that could be of higher economic value to the company thus making it mandatory for further consideration on more advanced ways of transmission (Patrick, 2009).
The method of news conveyance must change from manual sales of news paper to more nanotechnology modes of dissemination which would in tern boost its viewership. The display interface must also change in order to adapt to the new trends of news with 3-dimensional picture and sound. This implies changing even improvising ways of information being disseminated to people at the comfort of their homes with the use of even headphones to get the news.The solution to the challenge is to maximize the use of web-based avenues of transmission.
They must resort to more use of video links to reach a wider scope of audience. The printing paper must be changed to a nanotechnology paper in order to support 3-dimensional production (Straubhaar et al, 21). They must change to live news streaming which makes it appealing and attractive to the viewers. The use of billboards to stream news live as they come in will also make it more marketable. The newspaper interface must change to more graphic oriented interface with quality color and graphics to make it more attractive.
