Institution and industry are completely separate terms

Institution is the values and ideology of a media production




A more informal, high impact, sans-serif font
Smart casual highlights that Long is a bit formal but also laid back
The white background is a neutral, non threatening background
The different colours of the tabs are nicely coordinated and blend into the white but also connote to variety and choice.
The variety of student shows that everyone is welcome. Different hairstyles, ethnic groups, genders, clothing.
Institutions differentiates from each other to attract groups of people.
  1. Differentiation
  2. Competition
  3. Identification
  4. Ideology
Purpose of an logo is for it to be easily recognised as it's own unique company

Image result for Trump on the gropes newspaper

Selection of images used in a newspaper reinforces a negative ideological perspective
"His own party deserts him", the use of the word "desert" makes him more isolated
"On the gropes" means that Trump is in a bad situation politically
Play on the words "hanging by the ropes", meaning that he's cornered and about to lose, pun
"Trump on the gropes", the headline is absolutely massive, taking up a third of the cover.
Aimed towards people with not high educational levels, potentially towards GCSE levels, around 14
The whole story is adverse
2/3 of the headlines are about TV shows, meaning that the target audience would be of working-classes
A lot of assumptions being made here like "Strictly" and "Corrie", quite informal for a mode of address and can be told by how the writers know what the target audience is on about
San-serif font has associations with informality.

Image result for the daily mail logo
Very Conservative, implying that the newspaper tends to be proud of it's own country, includes the UK coat of arms.
Very upper class and the font enforces this as we associate terribly neat handwriting with the upper-classes
