Image (visual Rhetoric)

 

For the imagery that we had to choose, I searched for it on google and found this under business related images. This image will be used to talk about the different characterises of it and what argument we can interpret from this image.

Firstly, the colors used in this image are all very dull and boring, there are no bright colors involved which gives us the message that it’s very serious and there’s going to be a message behind it. It’s a very serious environment and from the looks of it, it looks like it would be very quiet in there except for some chats going on here and there and some typing happening but otherwise very silent, not comforting but serious. 

Modality: The visual itself is either a sketch or a drawing because we cannot see every detail in the way we would with a photograph.

Verisimilitude: the verisimilitude is high because we can the visual properly, there are colors used and there are faces which as well automatically makes the quality higher.

Claim about the world: Modern technology, feeling of seeing foreign item (newspaper). It’s considered weird nowadays to read a newspaper instead of being on a laptop, or phone. All the people gathered around the old man think it’s unusual to be reading a newspaper instead of being like them and using new technology.
