What is Blair's main argument? Do you agree with him? Why or why not?
Blair’s main point consists of having visual argument being what it is, an actual argument. He also states that visual argument is not something new, but it has always been apart of a argument. People have not correlated visual and rhetoric together. Blair is arguing that visual arguments is just another type of rhetoric. As far as I agree with him or not I am a little torn between the two. I can see the logical connection between visual design and rhetoric; but I have this is the first time I have actually thought about it. Regardless what Blair states that visual rhetoric is not new; it is new to the world of academia. Because visual rhetoric is new, it will take a lot of work to “sell” it as a cannon of rhetoric.
