Topic Analysis

During this semester, we are required to produce a research blog detailing the topic we have chosen. It take me quite a lot of time to select the topic because I am not a decisive person. However, after have a meeting session with my lecturer, I have been briefed clearly by my lecturer and finally decided my topic.

The topic I want to research on is:

"Critically examine the popular usage of digital cameras, Photoshop, or Instagram, and its impact on professionals in the creative industry."

The reason why I choose this topic is as an interactive media student, I do have some experience on photography and photo editing software. In addition, I personally likes photo editing software and spend quite a lots of time reading the tutorials online and practices them in Photoshop. Instead of spending time researching on something which is totally fresh to me, I finally decided to do research on something I am more familiar and interest with.

Previously I have done some research on digital camera on Tumblr blogsite. However, after briefed by my lecturer, I realize that I only can choose one subject matter among digital cameras, Photoshop and Instagram to research about. I noticed that I have totally in the wrong direction, so I decided to create another new research blog here which is focusing on research about Photoshop.

In order to make the research easier to carry out, I have break the topic into several main points:
  • What is Photoshop
  • The popular usage of Photoshop
  • Why is Photoshop popular
  • How Photoshop impact the professionals in the creative industry
  • The benefits of Photoshop
  • The drawback of Photoshop
These are the main points I can think about now. I will start to do the research report in next entry.
