Daily Visual Rhetoric

Rhetoric makes its way in writing and in many other things that we create. But visual rhetoric can be seen in our daily and weekly lives. Visual rhetoric is shown through what we say, what we wear, and also what we do in our lives. This is because these three factors help in determining who someone is. When i wake up in the morning and decide to chose what i wear is visual rhetoric. The type of clothes that i chose to wear whether it be gym shorts, a baseball hat or sweats, shows that i am not going to do anything that requires nice clothing. This also shows that i enjoy sports and recreational activities. What i decide to say on a daily basis also shows visual rhetoric. Speaking with good word choice and speaking with out vulgarity shows what type of person that i am. Also when using words that are funny will show that i like being funny and that i like to laugh. If i don't say much it could mean that i am not in a very good mood. The third way that we usual visual rhetoric in our daily and weekly lives is through what we choose to do. I generally enjoy spending time with my fionce and family.  playing sports, listening to music, and playing video games.  What i enjoy doing visually demonstrates who i am as a person. Others can see that i enjoy doing things that are more active and can see that i am family centered kind of guy. Also going to school shows that i am interested in getting an education so that i can obtain a better paying job and better support a family. Almost everything that we do and say can be a form of visual rhetoric.

  1. I could see that, sometimes I feel like the gym is a fashion show. Some people spend too much time trying to look good and not enough time putting in work to actually look good.

  2. I totally agree with you! Often people don't understand that everything they do, from the clothes they wear to the way they act serve as a way to tell people who they are.
