Before this reading I never pictured texts as the whole picture, I just thought they were the words on posters, TV, etc. Now I know that text is words and images all tied together. After reading this I now notice how often I can simply glance at something and know the general concept of it, like looking at a school paper. There are certain layouts that are constant throughout all types of mediums making it very easy to spot what layout means what. Fonts used also affect the mood and main ideas of texts. After this reading, I am now aware of how important it is to choose the correct font so I can convey the correct message. Also how these fonts tie into images is also a huge factor in creating effective texts. After this reading, I now know that all aspects of text need to complement each other so one's reader can get the message you want to send. For project 3 I will pay extreme attention to what text I use and how they all tie together. This is so I can create an interesting and effective display for project 3.

I like how you mention how to tie everything together, it adds more help from the reading than just thinking about the individual components. I'm definitely using these aspects from the article to help with project three.
ReplyDeleteJulie, I agree that prior to reading this passage, I never though of textual presentation as being important as it actually is. I also agree that selecting a proper font is pretty important when trying to create effective text.
ReplyDeleteI agree that by just glancing at a poster, website, or any media platform, you tend to draw conclusions about it. A poster can say something by it's display that is not intended, and it is important that the message matches the display.
ReplyDeleteI agree that before reading this text, I did not look into depth on how important textual presentation was in order to get the message delivered to the correct audience in a knowledgable and presentable way.
