The first thing that came to mind was the way that I dress. I
think that the way we dress is a big part of daily visual rhetoric. I wear
clothing that I believe looks appealing and matches my whole outfit. I also
change color scheme with the seasons. Brighter clothing is more for spring and
summer, while winter includes darker, more neutral colors. It's an interesting
concept. When I feel terrible, I'm very likely to dress like a slob because I
really couldn't care less about how I visual look.
Another use of visual rhetoric includes Instagram posts. I think that filters may have ruined just
posting normal pictures but they're so fun! For more serious pictures I try to
go with the black and white or sepia. For more fun ones, I try to brighten them
up and make them more colorful. Dealing with fonts, I always base font choice
on the seriousness of the situation. In anything school related I try to keep
it to Times New Roman or Calibri. On social networks though I go through
anything and everything and try to make things fun. I even use a font app on my
phone to make cooler use of fonts when I post. I think that this is just a way
to grab more attention and have more fun with posts. I really do think that visual
rhetoric is useful. It's fun to understand the things that we do to appeal to
those around us. We can see how others feel by the way that they dress, type,
or organize things.
