In Class Writing: How is Visual Argument Different from Written Argument

Visual Argument is different from written argument because the Author has to get their point across in much less words. In a visual argument the author's point may not be immediately recognizable to the reader, yet the overall point may be very similar. Visual argument may be more effective for certain people because a picture is colorful and vibrant and often times grabs a person's attention, while in a written argument people may become bored with all the words and lose interest. However, at the same time the advantages of written argument is that the author can specifically spell out their point of view and the reader knows exactly what the argument is.
