Unit 5/14 Task 1

                                         Comparison

Some of these products are used to be informative such as the leaflet of the restaurant that is used to make it easier for people to know what is served at that restaurant so that if they decided to go there they would have an idea on what they would want. This also helps people find out if there are any certain dishes that they were looking for or would want to try. E-newspapers are also informative with the range of news articles they have of the many different events around the world. The travel flyer is also informative with the list of events/activities that are available to the customers and the price listed on the flyer.

There are also products that are mainly used for entertainment such as the Facebook example for interactive media. This example gives consumers the ability to view posts, comment, like and more. E-books are also a source of entertainment with the countless books that people can read making them a very useful tool for learning as well. Certain magazines can have a sense of pleasure/entertainment as well as being informative. Most entertaining published products are generally used for leisure/relaxing.

Informative published products give slight information on topics while educational products will go into detail and could have many different sections for a topic. While being used for entertainment and E-book can also be used for educational purposes to help people who are studying in school, college or even those who want to learn more after that.
  

While there is some informative information on posters. The main aim of them is to promote/market products or services. The assassins creed movie poster is informative with listing some of the characters and a date of when the movie will be released. However some of the names of the actors could also attract attention to the movie bringing in more customers. The image is the main focus for marketing. This is the same with the star wars poster except it has no image and actor names it only has text.

There can be more than one purpose for certain products alongside the main purpose. This is what help people in their everyday lives or even help companies expand.

The purpose of the restaurant leaflet is to inform people about some of the dishes they serve and also persuade them to come to the restaurant to increase the amount of customers they have. The travel flyer does the same with the type of writing it has being used to persuade and also be a bit informative.

The bold writing on the e-magazine example is used to catch the viewer’s attention and make them think straight away with what its context. This encourages readers to continue through the e-magazine to see what it has to say.
