Visual rhetoric in modern advertising

This essay will call upon you to study the nature of modern fallacies through examining the way they are​‌‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‍‍‌​ used in advertising, especially the way images are adapted to mislead or capture the attention of an audience. You will need to select an ad or series of ads and explain their use of rhetorical fallacies, particularly their use of visual rhetoric. Drawing from our class discussions and readings, your essay should try to answer the following questions: Who is the target audience of the ad? How do the ads you looked at attempt to persuade their target audience? What kinds of fallacies appear in the ad? Do you believe they are being used effectively? In other words, do you believe the ads actually con their target audiences? The completed assignment should be 1, 200 words in length, not including the works cited page. If sources are cited, a works cited page must ap​‌‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‍‍‌​pear.
