a. Describe the different dimensions of Text Information and Media
II. OVERVIEW
People Media utilizes texts most of the time to deliver their messages, this is no
surprise since we can find texts anywhere, from books, television shows, websites,
billboards, newspapers, t-shirts or even in the sand if someone decides to write
something on the beach.
This lesson will discuss what is text and how this media can be used effectively
to present our ideas and express what we feel. The topics include different font
types, and design principles and elements of text.
The great 1st century Roman orator, Quintilian, once wrote that
“After you have chosen your words, they must be weaved together into a fine and
delicate fabric”
Quintilian’s metaphor can now the observed everywhere as we write and record our
words through texts in different platforms.
Texts are words in written, printed or on-screen format. It is a very powerful tool for
communication and information.

on the target audience or event.
