Possible Additions
Additions may include: Visual rhetoric/literacy in film, photography, graffiti, social media, reaction gifs, emoji use, posters, advertisements, and storefronts. I hope to choose just a few of these to tackle over the semester.

Visual Rhetoric Page Evaluation
Overall, while the page was not void of information it seemed as though it was discussing the filed as it was many years ago. I hope that the additions my team makes to this article is to modernize the examples used to make sure new examples of visual rhetoric are included. There was a section in the article that spoke of graffiti and while that is something I would like to research, I hope to add more--especially within the context of social media. The following is my contribution to the talk page on this topic: "With visuals being a popular medium to express sentiment online, would it be appropriate to add examples of how people use pictures to communicate on platforms like social media, instant messaging, etc? While I imagine it does not match the academic tone of the many examples within the article it is very relevant especially in this day and age with people using visuals in brand new ways.

These sources offer a variety of information on visual rhetoric both explicitly and implicitly. There seem to be many disciplines which aim to unravel just what visual rhetoric is and so I have pulled out information from sources that address english, film, and graffiti.
