Reviews are remarks made on a subject that has been experienced by the author directly. Given the author’s expertise in the field, a credible summary of his level of satisfaction can be made. Reviews have a convincing power upon its readers because of the degree of knowledge the author has about the subject. Thus, it is important that we know the types of reviews in order to learn which one best suits the interest we want to learn.
Here we take into example a printing product review as the basis of our explanation.
Abstract Review
An abstract review revolves around emotions and perceptions. Knowledge of the arts and humanities are absolute in this field and serve as the foundation for its criteria. It is called abstract because it is not universal. There is no formal guideline on how it is to be critiqued or judged for review. Abstract reviews follow no form and can creatively express its content through ratings.
Financial Review
A financial review revolves around numbers and figures. It is mainly used in accounting practices to assesses the company’s level of stability and determine income and expenditure levels. A financial review’s rules are absolute and follow a strict code of practices mandated by a governing body.
There are many other forms of reviews that can be used for different purposes. Product reviews for example can be conducted with either abstract or financial angles. Reviews given by customers are mostly abstract yet carry financial implications. The significance of these reviews will only show merit if read by people interested in printing, but will give readers their fair share of reviews from different perspectives.
When the review tackles the costs of producing the print materials, the uprinting review can be classified as financial. The review’s computations follow mathematical rules and apply accurate scientific methods to develop its content.
Should the review tackle quality of the print or the value of its design, the uprinting review becomes abstract because the degree of acceptance on the part of author may be applicable only to himself.
