For the most part, the categories that appear the most are visual, spatial, and linguistic. Most of the things that I have are just pieces of paper with writing on them, or books. I do, however, think that the comic book is the best example of all five of the multimodal texts. It combines an attractive color scheme, onomatopoeias for all the sounds being made in the story, clear facial expressions and character movement, an organized layout, and both expository text and words spoken by characters.
