VISUAL RHETORIC

Reflective introduction

The use of graphic is very useful and considered to be the best way to convey a massage needed to be understood by the viewers. It can reach the viewers faster than the written form. By using graphics, the viewers can see, feel, and imagine the meaning behind the graph. Unlike written forms, graphic can grab the attention of the viewers such as colors, drawing, or pictures that convey emotions, humors, or a specific concepts. In addition, we can easily connect what we are seeing with the story that we are told. I think power is worth being examined because most of the things in life have power and most of us don't know this. So by examining the power, we can analyze and discover the power behind everything. I have chosen ten different images that reflect power of different things. I want to focus in image that reflect the power of words. I chose this image because most of people speak without thinking of their words that they said.

The words have the power to frustrate and discourage the recipient of them. And also words have the power to encourage and motivate the recipient. The picture shows a child crying and words in shape of hand wrapping around his neck. I wish the audience understand how these ten images reflect power. By looking at the images and the explanation of each one, the audience will understand the type of power each image reflect. In the process of completing the project, I discovered that everything has meaning of power behind it. The most helpful thing in doing this project, that we complete it step by step, so we can focus in each step carefully. Also, the pear review was very helpful in sharing different ideas.
