INTRODUCTION
You have learned in the previous modules that all media messages are
constructed – creators make choices each step of the way, from their work’s purpose
and focus to the point of view they use to relay their message. Media, as a vehicle of
these constructed messages, hold substantial influence on the opinion or belief of a
person or even of the public, as humans are, intrinsically, easily persuaded by the
views or choices of the majority. Moreover, the revolution in media, information, and
technology has had direct implications in the shaping of a society’s systemic
landscape both in positive and negative ways.
In this module, you will further look into the media’s impact and contribution
particularly the opportunities and advancements media and information puts on the
table as well as the risks and challenges that come with it. In addition, this module will
discuss in detail the overall implications of media and information to you as an
individual and to the society as a whole.
Specifically, this module consists of: Lesson 12: Text Information and Media,
Lesson 13: Visual Information and Media and Lesson 14: Audio Information and Media

Characteristics that are used to create words, sentences and paragraphs
Design principles and elements – the principles in designing text elements are
Emphasis, Appropriateness, Proximity, Alignment, Organization, Repetition and
Contrast.
1. Emphasis - refers to the importance or value given to a part of the text-based
content. When trying to make a point or highlighting a message, you can make the
text bold, italicized, have a heavier weight, darkened or lightened (depending on your
background color) or enlarged.
2. Appropriateness - refers to how fitting or suitable the text is used for a specific
audience, purpose or event. In the creation of text-based content, make sure that the
selection criteria (tone, style, purpose, clarity) is followed. As for the choice of
typefaces to be used, refer to the discussion of the characteristics of the fonts. When
it comes to large body text, the font should be clear enough to read.
3. Proximity - refers to how near or how far are the text elements from each other.
When two things are closely related, we bring them close together. Otherwise, we put
text elements far from each other. For example, the main title and subtitle are usually
placed close to each other.
4. Alignment - refers to how the text is positioned in the page. This can be left, right,
center or justified.
5. Organization - refers to a conscious effort to organize the different text elements in
a page. Organization ensures that while some text elements are separated from each
other (based on the principle of proximity), they are still somehow connected with the
rest of the elements in the page. When there are many elements needed to fit in a
page, start by creating a framework or a compartment for the elements. Divide the
space by creating lines across the page, making it look like a cabinet with various
space sizes. Once you are done compartmentalizing, you can place the different text
elements on the boxes.
6. Repetition- concerns consistency of elements and the unity of the entire design.
Repetition encourages the use of repeating some typefaces within the page. When
several typefaces are used on a page, it might distract the audience and fail to
communicate what you want them to get from the content. To strike a balance, do not
also use just a single typeface for a visual design product.
7. Contrast- creates visual interest to text elements. Contrast is achieved when two
elements are different from each other. When you place a white text on a very light
yellow background, contrast is not achieved and the text will be difficult to read, but
when you put a white text on a dark brown background, contrast is created. Contrast
can be achieved in various ways, by joining the following elements: large font with a
small font, serif and sans serif, thin elements with thin elements, cool color and warm
color.

UNFORMATTED TEXT
FORMATTED TEXT
What is a Typeface?
Typeface- also called font, font type, or type
-refers to the representation or style of a text in the digital format
-usually comprised of alphabets, numbers, punctuation marks, symbols and
Other special characteristics
TYPES OF TYPEFACES
Source: p. 120, MIL TG by CHED
2. SANS SERIF
-Brings a clean or minimalist look to the text
-Used for clear and direct meaning of text such as road signage, building
directory or nutrition facts in food packages
-give a modern look and is used primarily in webpage design
EX: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, Verdana, Calibri
Visual media and information – materials, programs, applications and the like
that teachers and students use to formulate new information to aid learning through
the use, analysis, evaluation and production of visual images.
b. Shape – usually a geometric area that stands out from the space next to or
around it, or because of differences in value, color, or texture. Shape may
also be organic.
c. Value – the degree of light and dark in a design. It is the contrast between
black and white and all the tones in between. Value can be used with color
as well as black and white. Contrast is the extreme changes between
values.
e. Color – determined by its hue (name of color), intensity (purity of the hue),
and value (lightness or darkness of hue). Color and color combination can
play a large role in the design. Color may be used for emphasis, or may
elicit emotions from viewers. Color maybe warm, cool, or neutral. It plays a
major role in our visual perception, as it influences our reactions about the
world around us. It is therefore important to create color palettes that evoke
the appropriate audience reactions. Color has three properties.
Example:
Visual Design Principles
3. Balance – a feeling of visual equality in shape, form, value, color, etc. Balance
can be symmetrical and evenly balanced, or asymmetrical and unevenly
balanced. Objects, values, colors, textures, shapes, forms, etc. can be used in
creating balance in a composition.
4. Harmony – brings together a composition with similar units. If for example your
composition was using wavy lines and organic shapes, you would stay with
those types of lines and not put in just one geometric shape. (Notice how similar
Harmony is to Unity - some sources list both terms).
Web Graphics- Probably the most web friendly image format there is. JPEG is great
for images when you need to keep the size small, such as when you need to upload it
online. If you don’t mind compromising the quality of the image a bit, use JPEG.
WEB GRAPHICS / ANIMATION/ CLIP ART- Out of the three formats (GIF, JPEG &
PNG) GIF is the worst choice for web graphics, although file sizes are very small, and
they load very fast. Plus, if you want to add animation effects, use GIF. Also great for
clip art.
TIIFF is the best and only choice for professionals when images are intended for print.
Its ability to read CMYK and YcbCr color, plus its ability to store such high pixel
intensity makes it the only choice for designers, photographers and publishers.
These files are large and uncompressed, but the image are rich in color, high in
quality, simple and compatible in all Windows OS and programs. BMP files are also
called raster or paint images.
What is an Audio?
Sound, especially when recorded, transmitted, or reproduced.
AUDIO MEDIA
Media communication that uses audio or recordings to deliver and transfer
information through the means of sound.
Sound is the best way to attract attention
Often audio provides the only effective way to convey an idea, elicit an
emotion, or dramatize point.
Sounds also can be combined in a multimedia presentation to provide
information and enhance the other media being presented
The use of Sound:
Background
Attention grabber
Sound effect
Narration

Types and Categories of Audio Information
1. Different samples of audio files. Let the learners identify the type.
a. Radio broadcast - live or recorded audio sent through radio waves to
reach a wide audience.
b. Music - vocal and/or instrumental sounds combined in such a way as to
produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion. It is composed and
performed for many purposes, ranging from aesthetic pleasure, religious or ceremonial
purposes, or as an entertainment product.
c. Sound recording - recording of an interview, meeting, or any sound from
the environment.
d. Sound clips/effects - any sound, other than music or speech, artificially
reproduced to create an effect in a dramatic presentation, as the sound of a storm or
a creaking door.
e. Audio Podcast - a digital audio or video file or recording, usually part of a
themed series, that can be downloaded from a website to a media player or computer.
