Preliminary analysis of similar texts

Genre: Education centred, mainly for promotion to future students
Representation: Clever student participating in experiment. Science specialisation?
Audience: Future students who don't know about the school already.
Values and Ideology: Attending this school guarantees sucess, amazing science department, happy/good school experience - content model expression.
Insititution: Teacher for student.
Language: Bold text - attention grabbing. There is contrasting colour to the background image, though all are plain.



Genre: School magazine for girls, mainly lifestyle and fashion.
Representation: The school and students feature in the image. Female orientated magazine is indicated by the models, girl-associated article titles and colour scheme.
Audience: Current female students.
Values and Ideology: Friendships are important, as are aspirations and dreams - 'fairytales can come true'. The image connotates perfection.
Institution: Student for student.
Language: The photo is colourful and so the titles are hard to read, unlike the 'Beloit' magazine.
