media and design

The beginning of the first section in the Norton Field Guide section, was mostly information I had already heard through high school.
It then went into media and design. One that I picked up on was the print text. Print text is used in every type of writing. You can make so many variations to print text such as the typefaces, layouts, paragraphs, lists, headings, etc... Making your writing appealing is very important. If you don't get the readers attention, they wont be interested in what you have to say.
The spoken text talks mostly about clarity. If you don't organize your thoughts, and give your words structure, you will lose the attention of your audience. I can really relate to the spoken text section because it gave me some use full advice for my project coming up. I have to act in a commercial, and it really made me think about the clarity of the message we will be portraying.
