Visual Rhetoric

Visual rhetoric is the ability to get a message across with pictures, not words. This type of rhetoric is crucial to companies who are trying to advertise. Many people make a living off of being able to use visual rhetoric to their advantage. It is important that I know how to analyze visuals because it is something that I am immersed in all the time. Being able to interpret commercials can help me to form an opinion on the product in the ad. Also, understand visual rhetoric helps me to be a better writer because it involves a similar process of analytical thinking that goes into essay writing. I am very comfortable with this type of rhetoric and I believe that I have learned the necessary skills.
