Visual
rhetoric
|
If rhetoric
is the art of communicating effectively and persuasively, it stands to reason
that communicating visually can be as much an exercise in rhetoric as
communicating in writing
|
Photographs
|
•
use composition lines, contrast, and colour to establish
relationships between people and objects.
|
Political
cartoons
|
•
use exaggeration to emphasize traits of characters and symbolism
to communicate concepts and situations in a compact way.
|
Paintings
|
•
use colour and symbolism, and may often use allusion to tell a
story about their subjects
|
Posters
and advertisements
|
•
use color and composition to attract attention, and symbolism
and imagery to persuade
|
Graphs and charts
|
•
select sets of data and present them in a manner that makes them
easy to interpret, sometimes showing trends or contrasts.
