newspapers Q8

One way in which the observer uses media language to create meaning is through use of colours. The homepage is made up of rich burgundy's and royal blues which connotes importance because these colours are often associated with a sense of seriousness. These shows readers of the observer that the Observer takes it's news seriously and genuinely.

Additionally the structure of the homepage also reflects this. It has a linear structure which is neatly organised and sectioned, with the more important/ main articles made bigger than the others. This would help readers to navigate around the homepage and also suggests that the Observer is organised and knows what they are talking about.
