Week Seven

Kelly, I also thought it was interesting to see the differences between the newspaper articles. I was surprised to see how the same story was manipulated in order to place more emphasis on certain parts of the article. When looking at the articles i also did not realise that I was involved in the text practices and it was great to then have a class discussion to clarify the ways we were participating in them. The cereal boxes I thought were easier to distinguish in terms of target audience, layout, font use and colour. As Kelly mentioned the way Rice Bubbles and Coco Pops are designed to appeal to children and how Just Right is set to appeal to those who want a healthy eating lifestyle.
