Headlines Homework

The style of the font ‘KING ELVIS DEAD’ is done in a way to inform people immediately and straight away to draw their attention to the text.

King as the pre modifier suggests that Elvis was a superior man and very well thought of which dramatizes the situation.

Dead as the post modifier creates tension when reading the headline, people may start to panic and worry making them read the rest of the story.

Those particular modifiers were used to create dramatic effect in the headline about death.

The style of the text is that some words are small and then ‘STEALS’ is a bigger, bolder and in a different colour. Also by choosing the word steal makes people think negative things, and somebody isn’t going to literally steal a man. It’s just a catchy saying for somebody now dating somebody else’s partner.

Kim as the pre modifier suggests that whatever she is stealing wasn’t her possession before but now it is.

Eva’s man as the post modifier suggests that also it was Eva’s possession but not anymore because Kim has taken him.

These particular modifiers were chosen to create emotion for the audience. So we believe that Kim is the bad person, and Eva we should feel sympathy for before even reading the article.

Due to the type of audience that would read this magazine, these words are best suited. This is because people are most likely to read the magazine to find out gossip, therefore the editor probably chose these words so that people want to read this magazine in particular.

The style of the text is very plain and straight to the point, it’s a very informative headline and it doesn’t go into any detail. The colour black suggests a very dull mood of death.

There isn’t a pre modifier it gets straight to the point and uses a name to shock the readers straight as they read it.

The post modifier is ‘DEAD’ this describes what has happened to the noun. It’s straight to the point and it says it how it is.

The modifier was chosen to straight away tell the reader look what’s happened to create some sort of emotion whether it is happy or sad depending on the public’s perception of him. And there was no pre modifier this could be to get a reaction from the audience because Hitler was a very well-known person and didn’t need to be described in any way.

The audience that read this newspaper I imagine may be older or intellectual type people. Therefore this headline would appeal to them, it’s quite bland and this will create some type of emotion.

The style of the text stands out from the background because it’s white text on a black background. And the wording I’ve makes the headline personal.

The pre modifier ‘KILLED’ creates a sad, shocking feeling, because somebody has been killed it makes you wonder why somebody did something like this.

The post modifier ‘MORE’ would make the reader thinks oh no he has killed more than one person. It’s certainly bad to kill one person let alone more.

The modifiers were chosen to really emphasis how bad of a person this man really is, and the readers will want to find out why he killed all of these people. It may make people sad to think there is someone out there behaving like this.

The style of the text is bright and very personal to connect with the reader of the magazine.

The pre modifier ‘I SAVED’ makes the reader feel an emotional connection with the text, saved is a good thing and it makes people happy. Also the choice of the word ‘I’ makes the headline feel very superior and heroic.

The post modifier ‘MY SON’ is very personal, the audience will see the mother and son bond in the article.

The modifiers were chosen to show possession and to create a happy but sad response, it will engage the readers. In particular female readers, because normally they express more emotions than men do.

The audience for this type of magazine is generally women and older girls, the words are a bit soppy. This would make the girls and women feel some sort emotional connection with the story and wonder what it’s about.
