Visual Argument Prompt (Choice No. 2):

This assignment encourages you to go beyond only

considering the words in a text -its linguistic content- and to

also observe how visual elements, such as graphics,

typography, color, and placement, contribute to meaning and

persuasion. Visual arguments surround us in life and online. In

our daily lives, we are frequently confronted by advertising

with very little linguistic content that is still highly persuasive.

This project will help you to:

Come to understand that your audiences, your purposes,

and your contexts should motivate your linguistic and

visual choices

Cultivate your visual literacy

Learn some of the basic elements of design

Prompt:

This project has two parts: a visual argument and

a project assessment reflection.

Specific Requirements

Your visual argument must include:

Be primarily visual rather than linguistic. It can take almost

any form: a painting, an advertisement, a poster (for movie,

concert, or app), a comic strip, a sculpture, a photograph,

a video, a computer generated image or animation, a

collage, etc.

Consider: an emotional appeal, an appeal to credibility,

an appeal to logic

A visual representation of that purpose and claim which

communicates not only the overall idea, but employs the

strategies we discussed in class

Support your claim through evidence, visual choices, such

as typography, color, placement, graphics, etc.

Appeal to a specific audience. Write about translating

linguistic claims into visual claims. How does your visual

support your project and purpose?

You will also compose a

short essay reflection

(2-3 pages)

in which you analyze the process you used to compose your

visual argument, composed of answers to the questions

below. Use essay format for this.

For your project assessment reflection, you must:

Write about the context. In what ways does your visual

argument appeal specifically to the audience you

identified? That is, how do your design choices persuade

your audience?

Write about how you used Ethos, Pathos and Logos.

Remember these? How did you appeal to ethos, logos,

and/or pathos in your visual? Which of these appeals is

the strongest? Why?

Ethos: What does your choice of medium say about

your ethos? How are does your design reflect

your character? Do you convey your ethos

through typography? Color? Some other way?

Logos: How does your visual rely on logos? Can

your readers easily understand your visual? Does

your visual convey information efficiently? In

what ways do you appeal to logos? Through

typography? Color? Placement? Some other way?

Pathos: How does your visual appeal to emotion?

Do you convey emotion through typography?

Color? Some other way?

Write about the process. What was the most challenging

part of composing your visual argument? Why was it so

challenging? Briefly describe and explain one of the

significant revisions you made to your visual argument

after your initial draft. What is the most effective aspect of

your project? Have you deliberately adapted a standard

form in an unusual or creative way? If so, why?
