Graphology

The Article written by Charlie Brooker uses some visual elements such as a picture of the judges off of the TV show 'The Voice,' this links to the text as it talk in detail about the show, particularly the judges. The picture is effective as it breaks up the writing and makes the article look less daunting than an article with nothing but text causing more people to be drawn to read it as the purpose of an article is to gain readers and for them to enjoy the text. There is also a title which has been written in bold writing which draws your attention to read that first, I think this is effective as it stands out and entices you in to the article with the use of negative language, 'die,' making readers feel obliged to read the article to find out what is so un-enjoyable about the show, also, making readers read this first gives a good impression of the text as humour is used showing that this article isn't serious. The text is paragraphed so the writing is split into long and short paragraphs which makes it seem more interesting to read, this can attract readers to be more likely to read it as the differentiation makes it visually less boring.
