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?

Remember these? How did you appeal to ethos, logos,
and/or pathos in your visual? Which of these appeals is
the strongest? Why?

your ethos? How are does your design reflect
your character? Do you convey your ethos
through typography? Color? Some other way?
□

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?
