Choose Two Specific Images Eating Disorders

Please use the PDF file as a baseline for the essay. Please use the organization F.E.A.S.T as the stakeholder.

In Project 2, you will learn how to identify the argument of one

of your stakeholders as projected through their visual images and think

critically about the visual and rhetorical strategies this particular

group implements in their campaigns. You will choose two specific images created by the organization about a global or cultural issue

(i.e. advertisements, PSAs, or static images used on a website, flyer,

billboard, etc.), and analyze how these visual arguments reflect the

organization’s goals.

You will write an essay of 1200-1400 words based on the following requirements:

  1. select a single stakeholder (commercial or non-profit organization) and present its goals, mission, or message regarding your chosen topic or issue
  2. include a
    thesis that presents the relationship between the two images and the
    stakeholder’s main argument, including how the two images represent the
    interests of the stakeholder and its goals, message, or mission
  3. provide background on the stakeholder (context)
  4. analyze the rhetorical strategies used in both images, taking
    into consideration audience, message, purpose, rhetorical appeals,
    and/or rhetorical fallacies, and pointing to specific details from the
    image to support your claim
  5. use at least three
    sources; one must be a source from the stakeholder, and the others may
    come from secondary sources about the stakeholder or about the images
    discussed
