TEXT MEDIA
Text refers to a simple and flexible format of presenting information or conveying ideas whether
hand-written, printed, or displayed on-screen. It is available in different sources whether formal or
informal. Formal text-based are created and distributed by established institutions and go through a
rigorous process of editing or evaluation. Informal text-based on the other hand, come from personal
opinions or views on different issues.
Text media are publications that disseminate information through media products such as
newspaper, flyers, books, magazines, tarpaulins, advertisements, television, banners, websites, and
posters. Furthermore, design elements and principles in text media are effective means of conveying a
message. These design principles and elements are as follows:
In our exposure to text media and information, we can either be a consumer or a producer of content.
As a consumer, these are the questions that you need to ask with regards to the context of text media
and information:
Who or what institution is sending is message?
What techniques are use to attract and hold attention?
What is the language used by writer?
What views are represented? Are they balanced?
How might the message be interpreted in different ways?
What is omitted, slurred, or added in message?
As a producer, of text media and information, we need to review the media and information design
framework: target audience, author, or sender, key content, purpose, form/style, and format.
