Visual Rhetoric Project Ideas


I’ve decided to do my project on life with diabetes.  I am a diabetic myself and I wanted to showcase what necessary precautions I have to go through in order to live a more healthier life.  I feel like this would be good for my soul!  I don’t want to be too serious about this project as far as content goes; I want to have a little fun with it!  I plan to take pictures in the weird places I take my medicine in, the tools and necessities I need to take care of myself, etc.  As I said before, I want to have fun with it but I will not lose sight of the importance of what I’m trying to convey.  I plan to use PATHOS obviously because this subject is VERY dear to me.  Diabetes has changed my life for the better and I am glad that I have control over it.  The context will show the steps I have to take everyday in order to stay healthy and basically how all of this is unnecessary as long as you live healthy.  In some of my pictures, I plan to use mixed media to make it more visually appealing.  I’m going to use a combination of Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.  I can’t wait to see my finished product!  I’m so excited!

  1. Hey, Eugene!
    Thanks for adding a pic!

    I, too, am really excited to see your finished product! Don't forget to use ethos, since you are a very credible source on your subject.
    I'm hypoglycemic/borderline diabetic, myself (careening everyday towards the latter)...and understand the daily struggle of an uncooperative body.
    I'm realy excited to see what you come up with, Eugene!
