The reading was all about visual arguments. Being 'la artista' in my group, I'm the one that's going to be in charge of the visual aspect, so this information was especially important for me to pay close attention to. Some of the main points that the reading brought forth was, the words you choose on your picture, they aren't just words. This is true. There are only 5-6 words used on visuals anyways, so you want to pick the most powerful ones that you can to create a strong argument. Also, when you use a picture, you're supposed to make a story out of it. The reader should be able to pick up MULTIPLE details from a visual, not just the name of a company or something to that extent.
Another thing they talked a lot about was the fact that everything appeals to ethos and pathos when it comes to visuals. Using warm and inviting fonts means one thing, using clean, modern fonts means another thing, and yet using decorative fonts means even something else. The president's seal, and the McDonald's logo bring about two completely opposite feelings when you look at them. I will be keeping all of this in mind when creating my visual arguments for Unit III.
