I find the "Identities Are Infinite" visual argument to be the most appealing. I was attracted to the variety of colors that are used as well as the different shapes and sizes of each word and phrase that the ad uses. The ad seems to incorporate words used to describe all kinds of people and personalities. I is used to encourage diversity on the campus of Western Washington University. I feel like the ad would be a success. I find the "Embracing Diversity" ad the least appealing. The lack of color failed to grab my attention and the use of the same font throughout the entire ad was just plain boring. I don't feel like it would be a success in promoting diversity.
In the first picture, the theme of the argument is that there are quotas and requirements set in order for colleges to accept minorities. The second picture depicts a scene where the Supreme Court is trying to decide whether or not to count race towards college admissions. It is ironic because all but one of the judges are white. The third picture is for affirmative action, depicting a young black male suffering through many hardships and then being allowed into college through affirmative action. The fourth cartoon shows several admitted students and one who is not, who in turn, blames the minority student for not being accepted. Each argument is effective because they use humor and irony to get the message across.
