My Response: 

Today, I read Ian’s reading response to the effectiveness of the visual arguments. Ian and I both discuss how effective visual components are because the visuals appeal more to audiences than only textual arguments. This is because visual components stand out to individuals than textual information. Both of us discussed how adding pie charts or bar graphs will not only help increase the credibility of the argument but also entertains the audience.  The difference between our posts is the examples that we chose. He chose to talk about competitive biking and the usage of pie charts and bar graphs. On the other hand, I chose to talk about the black and white photograph and the usage of pie charts and bar graphs in infographics. Although we chose to use different examples, we had the same view on visual arguments where they are more effective than an argument that is just full of text.

Discussion: Nub and Vincent

Nub read Jash’s post and Vincent read Lexi’s posts. Nub said that both Jash and he focused on logos. They both use the same examples. Vincent said the Lexi also focused on the appeals of logos.
