With these two come many differences. In a article named Differences between Print Design and Web Design, by Jack Nielsen, it lists these differences and where each one has good points. Pros of Print Print is a useful resource, that is highly underestimated . With print you are able to look at a certain topic in a higher resolution than you would on a web page. Print is designed so you can look and study a topic in every detail.
Every page is put to use describing what that page or topic is about.
A lot of what is on print, that will be put onto a web page, does not do justice. Most of the time it is put into a lower resolution to where you cannot look at every detail but only the overall picture. For one this allow for speed on the web page. Most people are not patient enough to sit and wait for a high resolution paper to download. Anything over a certain period of time down loading is considered to be too long and would probably cancel the downloading and go to something else.
