I read Taylor Dunakin’s response. She spoke about the power that visual arguments can have as they can invoke strong emotions and reactions. She specifically spoke about the use of color and how they convey different emotions which changes the perception of said argument. One example she used was the cover art for the 2017 legend of Zelda game in which blue and green is extensively used to portray a serene feeling and sense of nature/the outdoors. I myself used this specific example. She went a step further in talking about social media by explicitly pointing out that thumbnails for YouTube videos are a good example of visual appeals; they draw the user in with often exaggerated photos or storylines.
