In Class: Visual Arguments

The reading last night was on visual arguments and how they can be used to make a claim.  The two scenarios I really found powerful were the Kennedy/Nixon debate and the use of statistics through graphs.  The Kennedy/Nixon debate was the first televised presidential debate and the way each person appeared on tv is believed to have a great impact on the number of people that voted for them.  Just by Nixon looking clammy and sickly gave him a bad image.  The importance of visual arguments to make a claim will be used in my project of facebook.  Through a facebook page I believe we will be able to create strong images.
