Rationale:
The content of this task addresses the language portion of the course. This
will be relayed in an infographic that shows the relationship between the various
types of media and their change over time. Another aspect of this task will be to
show the specific messages each form of media tries to convey, through written text.
This will be accomplished by short explanations of the various forms of media. The
visual aspect of this text allows the reader to have a better concept of how one form
of media gave rise to another. The branching arms of the graphic illustrate the
evolution of media and serve as a guideline for the path of the reader’s eye.
Something else to mention about the layout of the text is that it is meant to be read
from the bottom up symbolizing the growth of media.
The nature of this task is in the form of an infographic, I found this a fitting
text because it is a form of modern media. By using an infographic, I am also able to
convey the message of this text in a method other than language. People who would
benefit from this text would be those interested in learning about the history of
media. The text’s purpose is to be an informative display of information that utilizes
both graphics and text to convey the message to a modern audience. This is
specifically aimed at a modern audience because the infographic arose out of the
information age and people in the modern era would be much more familiar with its
layout.
