When trying to figure out what to talk about on my blog, visual arguments was the first thing to come to mind. Talking about visual arguments in class was very interesting to me because that is the type of argument that I am usually involved in. When I send my mother a text message and it sounds wrong, which she can't see me, she starts to argue with me. She says that i was rolling my eyes or something that does not make sense just to start that argument. Even driving down the road with a friend can bring up an argument on a bill board and what it is trying to say. One person may be wrong or both might be right. In this picture to the left, it is advertising smoking and how a girl will like you if you smoke. This ad is a stand alone visual argument. It is just one picture with few words to explain why there product is the best and also created arguments. It says "Blow smoke in her face and she'll follow you anywhere." -This will cause an argument because why would smoking make you more attractive or less attractive? This add causes the audience to be more immediate to smoking, instead of words they express it in a picture. This way is more compelling to the audience and catches their attention.
As mentioned in http://smoking.ygoy.com/how-advertising-impacts-smoking/ more and more young adults are being exposed to these ads. When a young person is exposed to this it caused then to either A) be grossed out or B) want to start smoking. This argument can go back a forth about the effects on young people with visual advertisements. Even with cold hard facts about this topic, their will still be an argument formed by it.
Visual arguments do certain things for the audience for example, makes them more immediate, compelling, and convincing. These traits are very important because they seem very effective in delivering to the audience.
