At the beginning
of Unit 2, we discussed what the Text part of this advertisement really means: Work hard. And
if you do, you will Be successful. And if you
are successful you can buy a Range Rover. And then you can Go in
it to someplace where none of that matters. The issue of
relevance comes in here in identifying the "someplace where none of that
matters". This place is the deserted, quiet location showed in the Image
components of the advertisement. Simply, the Image must be taken as relevant
to the Text (or vice versa), and the interpretation of the whole follows this
requirement. Relevance also provides the means by which you get there---using
a Range Rover. Compare this
with the same Text on an Image of three young people "in motion".
