Visual Rhetoric Workshop 23 January 2007

Guiding questions What is visual rhetoric? What should we teach in a PWP course? Where does it fit?

What is visual rhetoric? Images as arguments Page design Rhetoric of whole documents

My take on visual rhetoric Most concepts from traditional (verbal) rhetoric have visual analogs

Examples: visual rhetorical appeals

Verbal Antithesis "It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues." — Abraham Lincoln

Visual Antithesis

What should we teach in PWP courses? What I try to teach… Visual arguments Documents as visual artifacts

Visual Arguments Types (photographs, diagrams, graphs, etc) Adapting for audiences (visual conventions, levels of abstraction, etc) Relationship between the visual and text Ethics (dishonest graphs, doctored images, etc)

Abstraction example: photographs vs. drawings vs. diagrams Compressor Combustor Turbine

Visual Arguments

The Ethics of Representing Data Numerical increase = 37.4% Visual increase = 280%

Documents as visual artifacts Visually vs. non-visually informative texts Visual constraints

From Bernhardt’s “Seeing the Text” Rhetorical ControlVisually InformativeNon-visually Informative Visual GestaltVaried surfaceHomogenous surface DevelopmentLocalizedProgressive PartitioningIconicIntegrated EmphasisVisual stressIntensifiers, sentence position Subordinate Relations Type-sized, headings, etc.Linear sequence of sentences and paragraphs Coordinate RelationsListing structures and other graphic devices. Juxtaposition, cohesive ties (especially additives) Linking/Transitional Relations Controlled visuallyCohesive ties: conjunctives, deictics, etc Sentence PatternsVariety. Use of Q/A, imperatives, fragments, etc Complete. Little variation in mood. Mostly declaratives

Document Design or Which would you rather read?

Readable slides Color Use dark text on a light background Or use light text on a dark background Never use red text on a green background Never use green text on a red background Colors have emotional effects. This combination is known to cause agitation in audiences Blue and green backgrounds are more soothing Red backgrounds can have a similar effect

Where can it fit? Document design PowerPoint / posters Constructing and incorporating graphics Ethics discussions
