When designing text, we must give consideration to a few key elements to ensure that our message and meaning are most effectively communicated.
Font: This is the style of the letters. This is important to consider as it sets the tone and indicates such things as level of formality and mood.
Size: This means how big or small the text is. It is important to consider as it shows us how important different parts of the text are and also means that we can manage how the text fits on the page.
Colour: The colours that we select are very important. Like font, it can set tone and level of formality. Colours are also associated with emotions (symbolic use of colour) and things like places and objects (literal use of colour).
Case: We can use a combination of upper and lower case text. Capital letters are always used at the start of a work which is in a heading. We can use all capitals to draw attention to something.
Alignment: This means where the text is on the page. We can change the way the document looks and ensure that the focus is where we want it.
This sentence looks
(: HAPPY :)
I chose yellow to be the colour because it is the common colour used for smiley faces, and is very bright. (And when you are happy, you are bright and cheerful.) I chose to make the word ‘happy’ in all capitals to show the level of happiness. The curly font shows that ____________. The size of the word ‘happy’ is much larger as it is the first word I want seen, and because it is the most important word in the sentence.
This sentence is very Fancy.
I chose for this sentence to be the colour midnight blue because it is a very elegant colour. I chose for the size of the text to be small, because fancy things are usually written small. I chose this font because it is curly and connected (cursive) making it look more formal and therefore fancy.
This sentence is all about love
I believe that this sentence is filled with love because the word love is bold because you need to be bold to be in looooove. I chose the colour dark pink because it is close to the colour of our hearts, and is the colour of valentines day (along with red).
