Note: The following videos should be completed after the reading "Understanding Visual Rhetoric."
We'll be looking at rhetoric more closely during the next unit (Paper 4, which is the persuasive writing unit), but visual rhetoric is important when understanding writing and design, as well.
The first video below will introduce visual rhetoric. The other two videos will give you a crash course in understanding the fundamentals of Graphic Design and the basics of page layout (the primary type of graphic design you'll be working with when writing things like blogs, articles, or in similar genres).
Be sure to scroll down and watch all three videos.
