How Do You Reference in Digital Art?

Art|Digital Art

Digital art is a form of visual expression that utilizes digital technology to create and present art. As such, it is important to understand how to properly reference digital artworks and the various formats in which they may be presented.

The most basic form of referencing digital art is through citation. When citing an artwork, authors should include all relevant details such as the artist’s name, title of the work, date of creation, medium used, and where it can be found online. For example:

John Doe, “My Digital Artwork,” 2021, Photoshop File, retrieved from http://example.com.

When citing digital artwork in an academic paper or article, authors should also use the appropriate formatting style for their field of study. For example:

Doe, J. (2021).

My Digital Artwork. Photoshop File. Retrieved from http://example.

Citing digital artwork can also take other forms depending on the type of presentation or publication in which it will be included. For example, if an author is submitting their work for publication in a journal or magazine they may need to provide additional information such as where the work was first published or where it will appear in print or online format. In these cases authors should include details such as volume number and page numbers where applicable (e.g., Doe 2021: 123-124).

In addition to referencing artwork itself, authors may need to cite sources that have been used in creating the artwork (e., images or text taken from other sources). In these cases authors should include details about the original source such as author name(s), title of work, date of publication/creation, website address (if applicable), and any other relevant information that will help readers find the original source material if needed (e., Doe et al., 2021: 123-124).

Finally, authors should always check with their publisher or journal for any specific requirements regarding how to reference digital artworks before submitting their work for publication as these requirements can vary from one publisher/journal to another.

Conclusion: Referencing digital artworks is an important part of creating and presenting visual works online and in print publications alike. Authors should always cite all relevant details about the artwork itself and its sources when applicable using the appropriate formatting style for their field of study or publication requirements when submitting work for review. By doing so they can ensure that they are giving credit where credit is due while also making sure their work can be properly referenced by other researchers and readers alike!
