When I analyze why I do what I do, I realize that my message to the world is one of happiness. I sincerely want other people to be happy. On a daily basis, I like to wear clothes that are in style because to other people that is visually appealing and therefore makes them happy. When I go on my mission, I'll be required to wear clothing that is stylish, yet conservative and somewhat business like because that gives off a certain impression. As a missionary, I want even just that first glance that a non-member gets of a pair of Mormon missionaries to be a good one. Another form of visual rhetoric that I use fairly regularly is Instagram. I'm not a avid poster on social media, but when I do post, I like to post pictures of things that are important to me such as my family, friends, or beautiful things in this world.
Visual rhetoric is extremely important to be aware of because in our culture today, it has become the norm to be involved in social media and other forms of visual rhetoric. Specifically, I can think of a few people who have positively inspired me through their use of visual rhetoric and I hope that I can have that same influence on someone as well.
