Abstract

The transition from print to digital media holds significant potential for reducing environmental impact. Traditional print media requires substantial natural resources and generates significant waste and greenhouse gas emissions. Digital media offers environmental benefits by eliminating the need for paper, ink, and physical printing processes, increasing energy efficiency, and reducing physical waste. Digital visual communication design can deliver dynamic and interactive messages, enhancing engagement and reaching a global audience quickly and cost-effectively. Challenges such as dependency on digital technology and data privacy issues must be addressed for a successful transition.
