Appeal is Everything

A movie producer spends countless months using visual designs to appeal to the viewer for his or her movie. Everything from colors, costumes, design, and even the movie box has to be appealing in order to produce higher sales. Believe it or not, when you write a paper, you add visual effects to appeal to your reader.

The Norton Field Guide to Writing states that when you submit your paper, you add different fonts, sizes, and even colors to add appeal to your paper. For instance, when you walk through a grocery store you are more drawn to the magazine with the big fonts and striking colors than a plain black and white magazine cover. Not only do colors and fonts change the look, but bold headings, phrases, and even the position of the words help to entice the reader.

When I write my papers that don't have any predetermined stipulations, I try to pick a nice font to go with the topic of my paper. I also bold and even color the heading to entice the reader. Not only is having a good quality paper important, but it also needs to look good. You can even add graphs, pictures, or charts to draw the eye towards your paper.

Appeal can make or break the paper. If the paper, article, or even add doesn't have visual appeal, the audience will overlook your paper. That is why it is important to make sure that your paper isn't plain and boring.
