When you discuss visual images in your analysis, you must discuss them as complementing the written argument.
Think about:
1. Why are they included?
2. Why are they included in this particular position?
3. How do the visuals add to and support the written argument?
4. Why include these particular visuals?
YOU DISCUSS THE VISUAL IMAGES AS PART OF THE WRITTEN ARGUMENT, NOT IN SEPARATE PARAGRAPHS.
REMEMBER IT ALL GOES TOGETHER IN AN ATTEMPT TO PERSUADE THE READER.

Visual Persuasive Techniques
Image
Who or what is the image? How is it related to the issue?
Focus
What is our attention drawn to in the picture? Is it because of size?
Position? Language? Why is this element important?
Emphasis and purpose
What is the main subject of the picture? What attribute or characteristic of this subject is being emphasized? For what purpose? How are we as an audience meant to feel? How does this link to the contention of the written piece?

Colour
Is it chosen to appeal by association or
symbolism?
For example, red=urgent, green &
gold=Australia
Symbols
Why have they been chosen?
What do they represent and what associations do they have?
Design
What impact do the font choices have? Do we associate them with anything?
Is the layout drawing attention to particular areas?
Images
How are photographs and other images used to support a particular point
of view?
What are the subjects of each image, and how are they represented? eg. positively or negatively
Framing
How has the photographer‘framed’ the photograph to emphasize something
about the subject?
How does the visual language complement, emphasise, highlight or detract from the accompanying text?
