when i think about things capturing my attention i think of things that stand out, things such as big words, bold words, words ive never seen before and words that you wouldnt normally say.

another thing thats grabs my attention would be pictures, pictures tell 1000 words, and by looking at one picture you can tell what the story is going to be about, and when the picture is interesting it makes you want to read the article that goes along with it.

 the style of writing and the colours used can also attract you to an article, if it looks really fun and interesting to read of course your going to read it, if its just dull and long, long paragraphs your not going to be interested in reading the whole thing because you get bored and loose intrest easily.

 another thing that attracts me to an article would be the way its writen, if it had very strong language use and is all postive or all negative it makes you think about it and go ‘oh yeah thats a good idea’ or ‘oh i never thought about it like that before’ and can change your veiws on certain things which can be a good thing.

 music, on television there are many ads which use music to attract people, and i think it works cause if you see an really catchy ad with a catch tune its always in your head and makes you think about the product and want it, such as the coca cola ad, so music can have a big impact.

 and thats my thoughts on what attracts me to certain things in the meadia.
