Describe the different dimensions of text information and media

TEXT – a simple and flexible format of presenting

information or conveying ideas whether hand-written,
printed or displayed on-screen. Text is very powerful as
well in disseminating information, providing direction and
giving suggestions.
Text as Visual
a. Typeface (also called font, font type, or type) refers to
the representation or style of a text in the digital format.
b. A typeface is usually comprised of alphabets,
numbers, punctuation marks, symbols and other special
characters. When fonts are installed in the computer, they usually come in file formats
such as True Type Font (.ttf), Open Type Font (.otf), etc.
c. In the absence of images or drawings, text is the easiest way of communicating to
your audience. The use of various font types can express different emotions or meaning.
Types of Typefaces:
Serif
-connotes formality and readability in large amount of texts.
-usually used for the body text of books, newspapers, magazines and research
publication.
-give a classic or elegant look when used for title or heading.
Ex.: Times New Roman, Garamond, Baskerville

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, Tahoma, Verdana, Calibri
Slab Serif
-carries a solid or heavy look to text.
- used for large advertising sign on billboards.
Ex.: Rockwell, Playbill,

Script
- draws much attention to itself because of its brush-like strokes.
- used sparingly and not to be used in large body text.
- usually used in wedding invitation cards or other formal events.
Ex.: Edwardian, Vladimir, Kunstler (Edwardian, Vladimir, Kunstler)

Decorative
- caters to a wide variety of emotions (such as celebration, fear, horror, etc.) or themes
(such as cowboys, circus, holidays, summer, kiddie, etc.)
Ex.: Chiller, Jokerman, Curlz MT
Principles in Designing Text Elements
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.
