Visual Argument – Response
Author: Sasha Quintana
Picture: Final Four Tournament bracket
Summary: Sasha’s argument is a lively one around my household, she chose to represent the NCAA 2009 FinalFour bracket – with her version of predictions on the tournament’s winners and losers. She suggests that the Final Four will include the UConn Huskies, Michigan St. Spartans, the Villanova Wildcats, and the UNC Tar Heels. The Argument goes on to suggest that the Tar heels will win the entire tournament.
Visual Argument: Anyone familiar with college basketball will immediately recognize the bracket arrangement on the page. College basketball enthusiasts will be drawn to it more quickly because the schools that are being shown are all done via mascot representation. If you didn’t know the mascot, you wouldn’t know the team.
Her use of color is great, each team is well depicted, and there is a giant orange basketball as the baskground image. The tournament bracket lines are strong and bold, and the argument of who she thinks will win – UNC – is upfront and clear. This argument is well done, and done in good taste. Tis the season for March Madness and her argument, done visually, is again – done well.
