Analysis of Visual Text

Advertising has become one of the most powerful and effective tools companies use for launching and branding products. An advertisement is a form of communication that is used to convince a viewer to take specific actions on products, ideas, or services. Every day we are surrounded by advertisements that affect us making different purchases, and we do not even know how much they will affect us. Advertisements are available on a variety of media and can be communicated on various forums.

Analyze the rhetoric of text / advertisement, its background, rhetorical appeal and strategy as well as "oral / sentence rhetorical analysis". In addition, we analyze and explain the expected effects of visual rhetoric included in these texts, such as how to use colors, camera angle / lens, texture, space usage.

Visual rhetoric is a means of communicating using visual images and text. Visual rhetoric includes the ability to analyze visual literacy techniques and image formats and meanings. Using semiotics and rhetorical analytical techniques, visual rhetoric will examine the structure of the image and the convincing power for the audience as a result. This includes an understanding of creative and rhetorical choices made by coloring, shaping, and placement of objects. Visual rhetoric emphasizes the image as a sensual expression of cultural and contextual meaning rather than pure aesthetic considerations. Visual rhetoric has been widely used in various academic fields including art history, linguistics, semiotics, cultural research, exchange of business and technology, verbal communication and classical rhetoric.
