2. Instruction Manual
The images used on this
instruction manual are
hand-drawn instead of
professional photos. I
think they have chosen
to use this type of image
because it helps to make
the overall product more
relatable for its
audience. The images
are very simple which
could relate to the
instructions, which also
seem to be very simple.
Each section of text also
has a diagram image to
go along side it, having
each instruction have a
pictorial instruction with it
as well

3. Instruction Manual
The colours in this instruction manual are very simple and limited, featuring black
white and orange, with orange being the main focal colour. Orange is used because
it is a bright and bold colour that stands out against both black and white. The
orange varies in intensity, some places more dark and some places a lot paler to
draw in the audience. The images are also all in orange, which makes the instruction
manual consistent throughout. The text is primarily in black against a white
background, which helps to make it stand out off of the page more. Important
pieces of text such as the title and the main parts of instruction are in bold
lettering, which further shows us how important they are on the product, they are
sometimes in capital letters as apposed to being in lower case, which solidifies there
importance further. The font used ensure that the text is easy to follow and is
clear, the boxes around each of the instructions also help to maintain a flow, and the
numbering tells the audience which instruction comes when. The text itself is very
clear and easy to understand, which Is showing its clarity, and due to it being an
instruction manual, as little as possible amount of words are used, to give clear and
concise sentences that are easy to follow and accurate. We know that the
instructions given must be accurate because if not, then the point of the product is
useless, because if they weren’t accurate, then the instructions would not work.
There is no room for interpretation of this text, it is very simple and clear what it is, they
are instructions which present clear information. The register of this product is formal, it
uses more professional language to get across its point, which helps to make the
instructions seem more important, words such as ‘do not’ are used instead of ‘don’t’.
This product does not break any codes of practice, it is a simple instruction
manual, so this means that it also doesn’t have issues with libel or other legal issues.

5. Factual Journalism-Newspaper Article
This is a newspaper front cover from the controversial, News Of The World. The main article on the
front page is based around an event that was happening at the time. The main featured colour
for this product is red, it is used at the very top of the page and is in a very large block, it
immediately draws in the audience and captures their attention. The same red is then used
throughout the pages in smaller areas, showing the importance of certain aspects of the front
page, for example, ‘exclusive’ is in a red box whenever a new article begins on the
page, helping to show is importance and showing its exclusivity. The typography of this product
changes throughout the different articles, for example the main article in the center of the page
in is large bold capital letters, which immediately draws in the audience and having the lettering
in white against a black background further signifies the importance of the article, by having the
opposing colours. Each of the areas of text are clear and easy to read, and mostly uses
short, declarative sentences to keep the article simple and easy to follow. Because of the
content of the article, the newspaper will have to ensure that the information given is correct
and accurate, having no mistakes that could lead to legal action. Newspaper articles are
usually bias towards one side of the story and you can usually tell from the article title which side
it is in favor of. Due to the tone of the article, you can see how the writers of the article are
biased, they do not agree with what happened. The register of the text on the page varies from
formal to informal, using short sentences in a register that seems like the writer is trying to have a
conversation with the reader. The article is showing information, but it is also showing evidence
of an argument, it shows the reader the issues that are happening, whilst providing the different
opinions given, I think that the small snippet of writing given for the main article shows this very
well. The text shown on this page does not reference any sources, but I suspect that the article it
self will do so. Tis newspaper faces legal constraints, especially because they name the person
they are referring to in the article, and also show pictures. They mostly face action for issues of
libel, due to them publishing something that could potentially do harm to this person.
7. Leaflet
This leaflet for the NSPCC features the main colours known and recognized
as being the colours that this charity uses, green and white. Green is used for
the entire leaflet, with white being used for the writing and the images on
the page. Green and white are both very neutral colours, both are very
calming colours that can both be found in charity logos and company
logos. The typography choices for this leaflet are very simple but
effective, having the writing in white throughout the leaflet, and having the
sizes vary with importance, and the title and sub heading are in bold to
make them stand out even more. The font choice and the colouring make
the text very easy to read and clear, as well as the text being easy to follow.
The leaflet uses few words and short sentences to help keep the leaflet
flowing and easy to read. The information given on the leaflet will be
accurate, we know this because they are talking about themselves, so the
information will be as correct as it can be. This leaflet avoids ambiguity by
making sure that all information is clear, concise and correct. The register of
this leaflet is a mix between formal and informal. I think that have done this
because the product needs to appear professional, but it also needs to be
relatable to its audience. This leaflet will have certain codes of practice that
they have to follow, and I think that this leaflet does that. The image used on
the leaflet is there to further represent the charity, it is showing a white
shower of a young adult messing about, seeming very happy and content
with his actions, whih I also representing what the NSPCC do as a charity.
9. How To Guide
This is a how to guide for making the ‘Perfect Paleo Pancake’. The guide itself is very
simple, made up of both images and small pieces of text. The colour choices for the
guide are very muted and simplistic, perhaps to insinuate how simple the recipe
guide is. The main colour is a grey/silver colour that is used throughout, with the
darkness of it changing to show more important aspects of the page. The text is
written in two separate shades of grey, one pale and one darker, the darker text is
the more important pieces of information, which have been capitalized- the title
and the ingredients. The font for the text is very simple and easy to read, it is equally
spaced and easy to read against the colour of the background. The images used
are the main colours on the page, ranging from yellows and reds, they draw the
audience in, getting them to see the transformation from ingredients to the final
pancakes. The images are placed in the center of the page, which helps to space
out the text and showcase the product more clearly. The text is very clear and it
easy to understand, as well as being in short sentences which makes it easier to
read and to go along with when using it for its purpose. The information given for this
guide is bound to be accurate, as the recipe looks trustworthy an the images
present each action that is happening in the guides. Although the guide has not
tried t avoid ambiguity, I think that people will see the guide as just that, a guide,
and will interpret the instructions as they wish to, even though what has been given
is very clear and straight forward. The register of the guide has an informal tone, due
to the colours and the layout, but the text itself is formal, using commanding
language.
