Visual Argument Peer Review
The visual image should contain a clear and specific statement of claim being made. The written text should address the process of completing the visual argument. To what degree does the writer:
• Use clear and effective visual representation of support to claim, that is, how effective is the image they’ve chosen and why and how is it (or isn’t it) effective? Explain.
I think the images are extremely efficient as they are very harsh and strong and really convey the dark consequences of bullying and how hurtful it can be. It gets an emotional response from the viewer.
• Use design principles effectively? How well does it follow the principles of design explained in the textbook chapter on visual argument? Please indicate how they do this or how you interpret what they’ve done.
Yes; particularly the use of the black background with white words gives off a dark mood and really conveys the point of the images.
• Make effective incorporation of ethos, pathos, and logos in the visual representation of the argument? Please explain what you notice.
Yes. The strongest argument seems to based on pathos; the harsh, disturbing imagery drills into the viewers mind and brings out shock and disdain.
• Who is this visual image/argument geared toward? Who is the target audience? How do you know that?
The images appeal to anyone of any gender or age group as they are meant to be shocking to anyone.
• How well does the written text provide thorough, clear, and thoughtful answers to questions in the essay? Explain.
The text answers everything clearly and covers the answers to all the questions while tying together the whole point of the essay very nicely.

The visual image should contain a clear and specific statement of claim being made. The written text should address the process of completing the visual argument. To what degree does the writer:
· Use clear and effective visual representation of support to claim, that is, how effective is the image they’ve chosen and why and how is it (or isn’t it) effective? Explain.
The visual image is very clear in its portrayal of how words can harm others. With a picture of insults that people are called, and a cut wrist, and another of the negative words that are choking the child, and the third a silhouette of someone who is hunched over in sadness. There is a very somber feel to the visual text, and there is no mistaking what is being said.
· Use design principles effectively? How well does it follow the principles of design explained in the textbook chapter on visual argument? Please indicate how they do this or how you interpret what they’ve done.
In the first two photos, you are drawn to the physical harm comparison to what words can have on people. It gives a representation of the harm that words can have, even though in reality it is not something you can see, it no doubt causes harm anyway. Very powerful.
· Make effective incorporation of ethos, pathos, and logos in the visual representation of the argument? Please explain what you notice.
The most prevalent is pathos, the emotion that the representation presents. There is the sadness and the sympathy for those that are hurt and harmed by the words others use.
There is also logos, the logical reasoning that words can still harm, even if it is not something that can always be seen.
Ethos is the least used, as there is not really an authority on the subject presented. Although, those that feel the pain, can no doubt verify that harm is indeed caused with words.
· Who is this visual image/argument geared toward? Who is the target audience? How do you know that?
The image is geared towards those who use name calling and words to insult others and put them down. Too often the negative repercussions of name calling and verbal abuse get overlooked because the consequences don’t show on the surface like physical harm does, but there is no doubt still a consequence, and this does a great job of showing that.
· How well does the written text provide thorough, clear, and thoughtful answers to questions in the essay? Explain.
I thought you did a great job explaining the images used, and what they represent, I also thought you did a good job explaining the pathos, logos, and ethos portrayed. It was clear and easy to understand. The only spot that I noticed that could use some work was the introduction, where you introduce the problem, I think you explained that cyber bullying is indeed a problem, but I felt that the way it was all written seemed a little jumbled. Perhaps some sentences could be rearranged or re-written to help it flow a little better.
That being said, I really enjoyed it. I thought the three pictures you used were very powerful, well done!
