Visual Rhetoric

So at first i thought this paper was going to be a piece of cake because, it sounds like it right!? But when it came down to it, it was so hard for me to express myself! Im not sure if it was because the ad i chose was something that is really close to my heart and it made me to emotional or I dont know if t was because there was only so much you could say! hmm.. i think visual rhetoric is very interesting. I always noticed it in fashion magazines but never in anyother kind of ad, im not sure if it was because the ad wasnt interesting or because i was not looking for the rhetoric but i will definatly be looking for it now. I think visual rhetoric is all around us, not just in magazine ads and stuff, but in everyday life. I guess now that i look at advertising as, more meaning-full and kinda of fake. as weird as it sounds, i look at the "behinds the scenes" stuff. Not just the hot models and pretty colors, i look at the words and the props in the picture, and how they are trying to sell the product. Visual rhetoric has made me a smarter shopper! and a better writer of course.
