2. JOURNALISM (DAILY MIRROR)
A newspaper is written in non-fiction, however non-fiction comes in many
different types. This also surround us in everyday life as we need the
knowledge about the rea/town we live in.
In a newspaper you will always find formal writing as it is has no age
boundaries, so its open to anyone to read. However there are parts where we
have humorous sections, the humorous section are there to change our
moods from sad to happy E.G. seeing a sad storyline about a innocent
murder or something relative, this will make us unhappy that’s why the
humorous context would probably be on the next page to change our
moods. Newspaper are mostly written in 3rd person however there are
section where people have been interviewed, where we would see quotation
marks, this is a change from 3rd person to 1st.
A newspapers lay out is always the same so when looking for specific
categories we are able to easily find it, for example the sports section would
be the last 5 pages.
Last page, sports section
3. JOURNALISM (DAILY MIRROR)
• The daily mirror is a type of newspaper that is here to inform people
like any other newspaper. All the different newspaper companies have
the same purpose, which is to inform the public about the news.
• Most newspaper has the same style as it is all contains a massive bold
text to grab the attention of the readers, it has a plain white text above
the picture, the picture gives us an understanding of what the caption
means. The most important details would be added with a larger text
size to attract attention, the less important information on the page
would be added on but in a smaller text size to give space to more
important text.
• The borders contain news which are elaborated on the next pages, the
company fits as much information as possible on the main page so the
readers can open the paper and read more.
4. JOURNALISM (DAILY MIRROR)
• The pages inside the newspaper contains
more information that is placed in specific
areas to make the content visible to the
reader. The most important texts are
sometimes highlighted or even typed in a
highly bright color to engage the reader.
• The images on the pages are to create a
picture in the readers head of what is
actually happening, as we read we gain an
idea of what kind of events is being shown.
5. GAME (INSTRUCTION MANUALS)
• A game instruction manual will contain information that will
teach you how to play the game. The text used is plain and
bold black text, the text will get bigger if it contains really
important instruction. However a instruction manual get
really boring as it is really simple.
• Some manuals contains images so it is less boring than just
reading text, the images would visually explain to use how
the game works instead of reading a bunch of text that will
waste time.
• The new way of instruction manuals most of the time is
explained in game where you just watch and listen, this is
usually a paper instruction turned into a in-video instruction.
6. GAME (INSTRUCTION MANUALS)
For a game instruction manual you have steps informing you what to do, the text shown on
the paper is written in 3rd person so it is clearer to understand. The manual is written
formally so we can get a better picture, it is also modern unless the game has an olden day
style.
For most manuals the font style is a simple ‘Calibri’ to make things easy to read also the
less effects added the more able we are to understand the text, this means no colours,
themes and just effects in general. The manual Is a simple piece of paper that Is laid out in
a specific strategy to allows us to simply acknowledge.
