    Digitalization In New Media: Dating In Doha
    (The Turkish Online Journal of Design Art and Communication, 2012-10) Heeg, Jennifer
    This project reviews how digitalization has changed the social lives of young adults in the Arab Gulf, specifically in Doha, Qatar. Technologies including Bluetooth, television channels allowing for flirting via text message, and Blackberry messenger services have allowed unprecedented contact between the sexes in a mostly traditional society. By placing this phenomenon in the larger category of “Western,” some traditionalists have signalled that Qatari culture is fundamentally challenged by the encroachment of these “Western” behaviors. Simultaneously, Turkish soap operas such as “Noor” are also held up as examples of “Western” infiltration of Qatari society. However, this project seeks to identify the unique ways in which young adults in the Gulf adapt seemingly “Western” technologies, digitalizations, and media formats and use them in ways that are distinctly Gulfi.

    Intertextual Relation For The Creation Of Fashion Contents
    (The Turkish Online Journal of Design Art and Communication, 2012-10) Iahn, Roberta Cesarino; Nascimento, Rodney
    The objective of this study is to highlight the interference of information technology for the fashion creation. Fashion is no longer a content specific of designers or expert journalists, being resistant to the language reduction system (Barthes, 2005). The technological interference in the image of fashion allowed a broad interchange of signs orchestrated by different people and backgrounds. Digital photography and blogs expanded relations between fashion (creation and content) and street trends (authorial consumption) where idea and experience assume a creative value of market (Future Concept Lab). This intertextual relation between fashion creation and information of its contents has established a network of associations from which it feeds an aesthetic system that changes the issue of authorship (creation) and property (information). Fashion creation and production are in web pages in order to allow a creative movement out of ateliers and fashion publishing to democratize the structure of a very elitist market until then. The fashion world designed by good designers and described by powerful editors (Matharu, 2011) has received new participants that have brought different perceptions on culture, aesthetics, and identity. Major corporate brands need to interact with an opinion production and content that are out of the industrial axis and market – at the same time independent and free to provide feedback and set new standards of value. Thus, we understand that the conflict is set between the new content production model related to the old-fashioned system of fashion production. We will try to clarify this issue from this paper.

    The New Emergent Multimedia Content And Digital Rights Management
    (The Turkish Online Journal of Design Art and Communication, 2012-10) Carvalho, Jeferson de
    Culture in the digital environment, after a drastic reduction in the cost of storage and editing, allowed remixing and faster sharing than in the analog age. The result of this new content is no longer published or presented through traditional forms known in the analog era. The old gatekeepers are no longer gatekeepers. Thus, copyright, once valid, conflicts with the dynamics of the digital culture. Digital Rights Management, used by a company as a tool, is an option to control and to guarantee economic interests. How can it become sustainable in order to create, to consume, to publish and to share multimedia content in this landscape?

    Visual Culture In The New Communication Environment: E-Government As A Case Study
    (The Turkish Online Journal of Design Art and Communication, 2012-10) Erdal, Cengiz; TR29933
    Emerging of internet and broadband connection enabling large amount of information to be transferred from one point to another have caused many services to be transferred to virtual environment causing face to face communication is being replaced by screen to screen communication. Consequently, individuals encounter more and more visuals than ever before, which develops and forms the visual culture through new ICT tools. One of the conspicuous applications that shapes visual culture is e-government system requiring effective HCI applications to be put into practice in adapting users to get used to visual interactions changing their deeply rooted transaction habits. This study aims to reveal evolving nature of visual culture in virtual environment as a result of new information communication technology devices serving us as intermediaries between traditional services that we are used to get through face to face communication and their virtual applications in cyberspace. Egovernment system is examined as a case study as it is an outstanding example of visual culture forming tool.
