Cohesive Devices in Newspapers and Webpages

To create the hyperlinked web pages, I will also research into the differences and similarities between the web pages and the front cover of the actual newspapers.

I will look at the Harrogate Advertiser in order to understand this. These conventions will help me to create the web pages.

SIMILARITIES
- Brand Identity and House Style
- Date and Time
- Articles
- Article Images
- Advertisements


DIFFERENCES

- Linked pages (Other sites/articles)
- Small proportion of articles, with links to the full article
- Comment Options
- Register/Sign in Options
- Scrolling Text
- Instant news updates
- Moving Images



These similarities and differences highlight the divergence between the hard print copy of the newspaper and the interactive, modern and 'instantaneous' version of the newspaper in web pages.
New media (i.e Internet) has been involved in the decline in profits of print media.

APPLICATION TO PRODUCT

Taking this into account, I aimed to create the products with exact cohesion to create a non-divergence between the products.

Due to my research in detail of the cohesive devices, it was an easy task to apply these to each of my products in order to create a precise and recognisable cohesion.
