Visual Rhetoric

The project that was labeled 'The Last Meal Project' was a lot more compelling than the 'No Seconds' project. 'The Last Meal Project' was laid out and organized a lot better than the other project was  thought. The fact that it gave some facts about the death penalty as well, rather than just showing the pictures of the last meals that some of the inmates chose was a big factor in my decision as well. Also, by showing the faces of the inmates I think that it gives the audience a better opportunity to connect with what the person is trying to get through and the point they are trying to make as well. Giving the audience some facts about the death penalty forces the audience to stop just looking at the pictures of the meals and actually think about the death penalty and what it actually means to not only the person who is being convicted, but the state government who has to issue the death penalty as well. I also believe that the font that 'The Last Meal Project' used was a lot a good font as well as the color that was used because most people think of the color red for blood when talking about people receiving the death penalty. I believe that the first person could have done a little better with the project by throwing some facts about the death penalty in there as well. This would have caught the audience's attention more because if they are just looking at pictures for the entire project they might get bored and side-tracked. Overall, 'The Last Meal Project' was the better project.
