Study Notes
Definition of Text Media and Information
- Text is a versatile medium for presenting information and ideas in various formats, including handwritten, printed, or displayed on screens.
- It plays a powerful role in disseminating knowledge, providing direction, and offering suggestions.
Sources of Text
- Textual materials can be categorized into formal (e.g., news articles, books, newspapers) or informal (e.g., blogs, personal emails, social media posts).
- Formal texts are produced by established institutions and undergo rigorous editing, while informal texts stem from personal opinions and experiences.
Characteristics of Text
- Text length can vary from a single sentence to lengthy articles, but each piece is carefully constructed to convey a specific message.
- Consumers of text media are encouraged to critically evaluate the content they engage with.
Role of Producers in Text Media
- Producers should consider several factors in media design: target audience, author or sender, key content, purpose, form/style, and format.
Visual Aspects of Text
- Typeface (or font) refers to the style of text, which includes alphabets, numbers, punctuation, and special characters.
- Various font types can convey different emotions, making text a crucial communication tool in the absence of visuals.
Design Principles for Text Elements
- Emphasis: Highlights important information through techniques such as bolding, italicizing, or altering text weight.
- Appropriateness: Aligns the text's tone and style with its target audience and purpose, ensuring clarity and suitability.
- Proximity: Positions related text elements close together while distancing unrelated ones to enhance comprehension.
- Alignment: Determines the positioning of text on the page (left, right, center, or justified) for better readability.
- Organization: Involves systematically structuring text elements to create an accessible layout, using frameworks and spaces to present content clearly.
- Repetition: Reinforces key messages by repeating certain text elements or design structures throughout the content.
- Contrast: Uses variations in text styles and colors to differentiate elements and draw attention to specific sections.
