Lesson
Text Information and Media
1
What catches your attention when reading a story or an article? Most people
would look at the text because of its content. In this lesson, you will be learning how
text information can be an effective form of media and how it can be used and applied
for you to communicate the message effectively.
What’s In
Choose the letter that best describes the statement in each number.
What’s New
Examine the text message and answer the questions that follow.
What is It
Text Information
Text information can be written in script using the Roman alphabet or a different
script that is appropriate to the language of the reader. For example, Japanese, Chinese,
and Korean textbooks are written using their own scripts.
3. Contributor – Like a writer, the contributor puts in articles about topics that are
of particular interest. Contributors can only submit articles depending on the
theme or space available. Most writers work full time in a publication but there
are some who are considered as contributors which means that they are freelance
writers and their works do not appear regularly in a publication.
4. Columnist – someone who writes his opinion, insights, and commentaries about
social or political issues. In a newspaper or a magazine, articles written by
columnists appear on a regular basis. Even though columnists are free to express
their opinion, he or she must abide by the professional code of ethics for
journalists. This means that columnists should avoid bias and derogatory
remarks.
5. Blogger – a blogger is someone who writes personal opinions on topics or issues
that interest him or her. Rather than writing a column for a magazine or a
newspaper, a blogger shares his insights, ideas, reflections, experiences, and
activities through a blog entry.
6. Data Encoder – someone who is responsible for encoding handwritten text into
soft copy using an office application such as MS Word.
7. Layout and Graphic artist – someone who assembles text, images, illustrations,
photographs and drawings to create a visual design on printed or digital media.
8. Editor – someone who coordinates with the author or writer in planning,
reviewing, and revising content for publication. In addition, an editor’s task is to
coordinate with the layout artists to ensure that all corrections are carried out
from start to end.
9. Publisher – someone who is responsible for preparing, acquiring, and managing
a publication. The publisher works with a team of writers, authors, and layout
artists and decides on the type and theme of the material to be published.
For articles in newspapers or magazines, the editor decides whether the material is
worthy of publication based on the publication house’s style, theme, and quality of the
material.
For manuscripts written for possible publication as a textbook or novel, the
publisher usually has a team of reviewers who checks the quality of the manuscripts in
terms of content and genre. If the manuscript gets the approval of the screening
committee, it is forwarded to the editorial department and later endorsed for printing.
Text as Visual
a. The representation or style of a text in the digital formal is called a typeface.
b. A typeface, (also referred as font, font type, or type) is usually comprised of alphabets,
numbers, punctuation marks, symbols and other special characters.
c. Different emotions and meanings are expressed when various font types are used. In
case there is an absence of images and drawings, the easiest way to communicate to
people is through text.
Types of Typefaces
Serif
One common form of a typeface is called serif. It pertains to a short line at the top or
bottom of some styles of printed letters. This kind of typeface entails familiarity and
readability in large amounts of texts. Some publications such as books, newspapers,
magazines, and researches normally use serif typeface for the body of the text. Serif
fonts are also used to achieve a classic and elegant look in publications.
Examples: Times New Roman, Garamond, Baskerville
Sans Serif
A typeface which does not contain serif in the letters is called a sans serif. This typeface
conveys a clean and minimalist look to the text. To express clear and straightforward
meaning of the text, road signages, building directories, and nutrition facts in food
packaging use this typeface. Moreover, sans serif fonts are mainly used in designing
webpages to achieve a modern style look.
Examples: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, Verdana, Calibri
Slab Serif
A heavy and solid look to the text is expressed by slab serif. Usually, large advertising
sign on billboards use the slab serif typeface.
Examples: Rockwell, Playbill, Blackoak
Script
The brush-like strokes make people drawn to the script typeface. It is not advisable to
use this font to large body text and thus it must be used sparingly. Most formal events
such as weddings or evening charity balls use the script typeface.
Examples: Edwardian, Vladimir, Kunstler
Decorative
Display or decorative typeface are artistic and eye-catching since it caters to a wide
variety of emotions (such as happiness, fear, horror, etc.) or decorative fonts also cater
to various themes (such as spaceships, carnivals, holidays, seasons, kiddie, etc.)
Examples: Chiller, Jokerman, Curlz MT
2. Appropriateness – refers to how suitable or matching the text utilized for a target
audience, intention, or event. The selection criteria (tone, style, purpose, clarity) should
be followed in the creation of text-based content. The discussion of font characteristics
must be considered when choosing the typefaces to be used in an output. Large body
text must use fonts which are readable and clear.
3. Proximity – refers to the closeness or looseness of text elements from each other.
Things that are closely related should be brought together. Otherwise, text elements
should be placed far from each other. For example, the placement of main title and
subtitle are usually close to each other.
10
6. Repetition – the unity of the entire design and consistency of elements are the
concerns of repetition. The repetition of some typefaces within the page are encouraged.
However, when various typefaces are used on a page, it might result to distraction and
failure to communicate the content of the text.
