Visual Argument [Advertisement]
For this project, you will be required to create a visual argument in the form of an advertisement that corresponds to your Researched Argument Essay.
A visual argument is an argument that mostly relies on visuals [photographs, drawings, collages, objects, etc.] to prove an argument. You may use some text in your visual argument, but you should attempt to prove your argument with visuals.
For this project, your visual argument will be in the form of an 8 ½ x 11” advertisement [i.e. roughly the size of a one-page ad that would appear in a magazine]. Use Word or PowerPoint to insert and arrange images (and some text) and create your advertisement. You may decorate your advertisement however you wish, as long as all objects, pictures, etc. work to prove your argument, and are not there simply for decoration. What is most important to keep in mind for this project is that your ad should not just be pretty but should make an argument. So, your ad should not just be about your topic in general but should argue a position or side about your topic. However, instead of making your argument through words, this assignment requires you to make your argument through visuals.
