Visual Rhetorical

When we first got this assignment I thought "How can you explain an ad in 4 pgs?" It turns out it was easier than I thought. I decided that I would look at a bunch of ads online and see what I could get from them. I will never look at an ad the same again. I notice everything about them. Color, size, words, energy, shapes, etc. I now examine every little thing about ads and what they are about. I was at Target the other day and I caught myself looking at an ad for 5 minutes trying to find the real message. I now look behind the ad, not just at what is in front. The thing I love best is the colors of ads. I never realized how much it meant to an ad. It changes so much. I love how advertising is trying to persuade you into what they are selling almost like they are hypnotizing the audience. Visual Rhetorical has changed how I look at advertising forever. I see so much more then just the outside and I love how it has changed my perspective.
