Breaking down a sentence into one constructive word:

7 – creativity, a free mind and a colourful agenda.

5 – creativity, freedom and colourful criteria.

4 – creativity and freedom, expand.

3 – creative freedom, explore.

2 – creatively free.

1 – creation / freedom.

 

In this session we learned how to take a headline and gradually break it down to one word that would capture the audiences attention instead of having to read the whole sentence. I struggled breaking the sentence down and deciding which words I should remove in order to have the best affect on the reader but eventually I achieved the intention of the exercise. I know now that I can use less words to have more of an impact to capture the readers attention rather than trying to have a whole headline to draw them in.

One thought on “Story Telling.

  1. What does this blog refer to: can you put the work into context: what were the exercises, what were you learning in this session, how did you feel it went? What do you know now that you didn’t before?

    I’m not sure what I am look at here. is it the copywriting session and if so where is the other work we did for this – again look at my blog posts.
