The aim of the study is to examine the representation of children visually and verbally in the 3 Indie+ cellular phone operator advertisement. Based on the data analysis, the study finds that visually children are represented as a naive person who is “pretending to know” adult life when in fact they are still a child through the use of setting, layout composition, and perspective (shot, gaze). Children are verbally represented through the use of mental and material processes as somebody who tells about their hope, obsession, and aspirations in the future, and their naive imaginations of how an adult life is In relation to the product advertised the representation signifies that unlike other providers, using 3 Indie+ is very easy; it is not as hard as to live as adults.Keywords: advertisement, cellular phone, representation, semiotic, text, and visual grammar.
