Representation
and textual analysis
Representation
The description or portrayal of someone or something in a
particular way, for example the representation of women in newspapers.
Representation of the man-
The man in this photo I personally think looks like a clothes designer as his clothes look scruffy but they look as if they have been made that way which means he could be a clothes designer. I also think that maybe he if he is a clothes designer he is trying to make scruffy clothes popular so he can support the homeless which means he could be interested in charity. For this reason I think his past story could be that he was homeless but got a grip of things and has become very wealthy and wants to help people who were like him.Name- Doug Bihlmaier
Occupation- Buyer for Ralph Lauren
Representation of the lady -
The lady looks like a normal elderly lady but looks like she is very fashionable as her glasses look rather posh and modern. Due to this I think she could be potentially wealthy. For this reason I think she could be fashion designer or a artist as her glasses and hair look creative. Her outfit looks like she might want to dress like a normal lady but still want to retain some expensive accessories such as her glasses within her outfit.Name- Julie Christie
Occupation- Actress
Representation of the second man-
This man looks as if he is really wealthy and intelligent. the reason why I think this is because he has a well co ordinated outfit as his hat matches his scarf and his coat matches his trousers which shows he has put a lot of thought into this outfit. Due to this I think he has something to do with fashion or maybe art another thought I had was that maybe he was an author or a film director as he is dressed very smart and looks as if he is at an event due to the background. He looks as if he owns a very large and successful company and looks like he could be generous with money and maybe give to charities.
