1. EMPHASIS
• refers to the importance or value given to a part of
the text-based content
• 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

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

7. CONTRAST
• creates visual interest to text elements
• achieved when two elements are different from each other
• can be achieved in various ways, by joining the following
elements: white text on a dark background, dark text on a
white background, large font with a small font, serif and
sans serif, thin elements with thin elements, cool color and
warm color.

Advantages of Text Media
Availability
-printed materials are already available on a variety of topics and in
many different Formats.
Flexibility
- they are adjustable to many purposes and maybe used in any
lighted environment
Portability
- they’re easily transported to another place with out the aid of
machine or electricity

Purposes of Text Media
• To bring in a better communication and understanding
between the general public and government
• To help the people know what’s happening in the
country about the economy, social and political situation
Limitations of Text Media
- The most obvious drawback of text as a knowledge
building and communication tool is that it lacks the
inherent expressiveness of speech.
-A transcript may accurately record the spoken words,
but the strategic and emotive qualities and impact of
speech are diminished on the page.
Value of Text Media
• New information
- informational text contributes to readers understandings of a wide range of topics.
• Varying Formats
- reading informational text provides students exposure to content presented. This
exposure presents text variety and offers
Ex: graphs, charts, primary sources, brochures, manuals, and other documents.
• Analytical Thinking
- reading information in presentations other than narrative requires that readers
practice different skills of interpretation and analysis.
• Motivation
- kids wants to know the how and why behind things. That’s why informational text
is necessary as it feed kids one by one information to what is happening around them
Visual Text
- is a text that we view
- the images work together to create a meaningful
patterns, symbols, ideas and messages for the reader
- the words and images work together to create
meaning
Examples:
movie poster advertisements
film paintings
video games picture books
music videos photographs
