Grouping texts on graphilogical features.
Texts A,B and C use overt and covert graphilogical features as you are able to identify subconsciously what the text is about without the image but it aids your understanding and makes the context seem clearer. The images are prominently placed which instantly makes them capture your eye. In text C, there are proper nouns used to represent the characters in the picture and you look to the text to identify the characters in the picture to gain a understanding of what and who the text involves. This text shows a use of a standard graphilogical feature as you would expect to find imagery in a children's story book. In text B, there are imperative verbs like 'pour' and 'heat' to show importance of certain instructions. By following these strict instructions the reader is expecting to have a result that is exactly like the picture. Therefore the image is used in a standard graphilogical way as recipes are known to have pictures in for the reader to follow. Text A's use of an image is non standard. We can tell this by type of text as it's a poster. There does not necessarily have to be imagery in a poster so it is not specifically required yet it links with the other texts as it is just aiding the readers understanding.
