When audiences see various types of families all laughing together, they cling to the idea of happiness and will continue reading. The pictures also represent the main idea of the article well and show the outcome of what "your" family could look like if you read and follow the article.
Other than photographs, the authors specifically make the article in list form with bold words as headings and bullet format. This is done to appeal to all types of audiences and create a more diverse following. By organizing the facts of the article the audience is inclined to at least brush through and get the overall idea of the article. Though this is an article, the authors specific visual decisions impact the persuasiveness of the argument.

ReplyDeleteAs I looked at the article with its pictures of different types of families, the message becomes very clear through the images that families of every kind can be positive. For instance, the picture of the son holding his father's hand represents the single family. Their hand holding seems to embody their strong connection and their smiles show their happiness and love for each other.
ReplyDeleteMoving further in the article, there is a picture of family with two mothers. their warm smiles evoke a calming sense from the viewer. Overall, the use of visual images helps to convey the message that happy and healthy non-nuclear families can and do exist.
In the article, another element I thought that was noteworthy was that they chose to answer common questions that are constantly thought about the different types of families that exist. For example, if you were a homosexual parent, you would feel compelled to keep reading about this and the subsequent sections because of how relatable it is.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if my future family will look like that if i keep reading this article.
