concerning to the data. The first is the result concerning with the analysis based on the Generic Structure Potential of the advertising campaigns. The next is
discussion regarding to the visual and linguistic analysis of the data. The theories of GSP, Transitivity, Mood Analysis, and Intersemiotic as the construction of the
meaning of the advertising campaigns, including the theory of Colour and Structure of Composition, are employed together to support the analysis and
finally to obtain the final conclusion of the overall analysis.
4.1 Result of the Analysis Based on the Generic Structure Potential GSP of
Advertising Campaigns

elements consist of Lead, Emblem, and Display. Meanwhile, linguistic elements consist of Emblem, Announcement, Enhancer, Tag, and Call-and-
Visit Information. Based on the analysis of the data, the existence of the elements is served in this table below for the detailed result.

From table 4.1 above, it can be seen that all beauty product advertising campaigns have Lead and Display as visual elements of the Advertisement
that the Lead also functioning as Display. The Display of the beauty product advertising campaigns are Explicit yet Congruent, so the readers do not need
to imagine how the products are since the beauty product advertising campaigns show the products without symbolism Nugroho, 2009: 74.
Unfortunately, not all beauty product advertising campaigns have visual Emblem brand logo. Only Garnier Miracle Sleeping Cream, Ultimune by
Shiseido, Olay Regenerist Luminous, and Perricone MD have visual Emblem. Visual Emblem is functioning as the identity giver for the product that is
being advertised. Visual Emblem is more representing the symbolic logo of the brand.
All beauty product advertising campaigns have linguistic Emblem that functioning as the identity giver and to validate the authenticity of the
products advertised. One linguistic element that absents from the beauty product advertising campaign is Tag. But its absence only occurs in one
beauty product advertising campaign, which place only 10 of the total advertising campaigns.
Linguistic elements like Announcement, Enhancer, and Call-and- Visit-Information also occur in all beauty product advertising campaigns. It
means that those linguistic elements play important roles for the beauty product advertising campaigns. According to Cheong‘s 2004 notion of GSP
of print advertisement, linguistic element like Announcement, Enhancer, and Call-and-Visit-Information are put inside the brackets, which indicate that the
elements are optional. However, in the analysis, it is found that those linguistic elements always occur in the beauty product advertising campaigns.
The use of complete elements in advertising campaigns shows the completeness and makes the advertising campaigns become clearer for the
readers to understand the content of the advertising campaigns. In addition to the result of the GSP analysis of the advertising
campaign, the result of the linguistic analysis of the data showing the function of the sentences, whether they are orienting to the readers or the products, and
also the interpretation of each sentences is served on the appendix 3.
