Visual Rhetoric is a great tool that we can use as writers. It is the way in which we use images to help us when we are trying to persuade our readers to do something. Often times Visual Rhetoric is also used to help argue a point as well.
There are many different types of Visual Rhetoric which we refer to as Visual Gazes. One of these gazes which is used often are called familial gazes, which are things of great importance to someone often times they are memories from our lives that have deep meaning.
Rhetorical Gazes are used all the time and for many different purposes. The media for example uses consumer gazes on a daily basis, because they make us want to buy things which in fact helps their business. For example when ever we see those big golden arches and hear the tune "bu du bu bu bu i'm lovin' it" everyone who has ever eaten there thinks of McDonalds. It is something catchy and a symbol that stands out to all of us.
Visual Rhetoric and Rhetorical Gazes are really great tools for us as writers and when used correctly can really help us paint the picture for the readers. Which helps them better understand what it is that we are trying to say or explain to them.
