A text may be justified or unjustified. An unjustified text may be justified left, centre justified or justified right.
Example: - Justified Text
In order to satisfy the information needs of the intended receivers information design comprises analysis, planning, presentation and understanding of a message- its content, language and form. Regardless of the selected medium, a well-designed information material, with its message, will satisfy aesthetic, economic, ergonomic as well as subject matter requirements.
Example: - Justified Left Text
In order to satisfy the information needs of the intended receivers information design comprises analysis, planning, presentation and understanding of a message- its content, language and form. Regardless of the selected medium, a well-designed information material, with its message, will satisfy aesthetic, economic, ergonomic as well as subject matter requirements.
Example:- Justified Right Text
In order to satisfy the information needs of the intended receivers information design comprises analysis, planning, presentation and understanding of a message- its content, language and form. Regardless of the selected medium, a well-designed information material, with its message, will satisfy aesthetic, economic, ergonomic as well as subject matter requirements.
Example: - Centre Justified Text
In order to satisfy the information needs of the intended receivers information design comprises analysis, planning, presentation and understanding of a message- its content, language and form. Regardless of the selected medium, a well-designed information material, with its message, will satisfy aesthetic, economic, ergonomic as well as subject matter requirements.
There are both advantages and disadvantages with each system. A number of authors argue that justified text is aesthetically pleasing and that it is easier for people to read lines of the same length than reading lines with varying right-hand ends. Readers may even feel that (un even) ragged right-hand lines in justified left text make an ugly text column. At the same time other authors argue that justified left text is a much better choice. The exact spacing between letters and all the words in unjustified text retains the optimal spacing between letters and words and so keeps the visual rhythm constant. This aids reading, especially for young, inexperienced and poor readers.
Results from reading experiments of justified and unjustified texts indicated a significant increase in reading time for the groups that read justified texts. There were, however, no differences in comprehension. Whether a text is justified or unjustified causes no significant difference in search time and comprehension of the information content for advanced readers. Today, however, unjustified text is commonly used for running text in books, magazines, reports, and in some newspapers.
Centre justified texts are often used for menus, quite often used for poetry, and it is sometimes used for short legends. Centre justified texts are also used for tables of contents. In films and in television programs. The participants are usually listed centre justified. Justified right texts can be used for legends that are positioned to the Left of the pictures, and for tables of contents. This is, however, only possible when the line length is short. Regardless of justification system the ends of sentences should be determined by syntax rather than by an idea of a set width of line.
