I want to assume for the moment that we all agree with Selfe's assertion that visual literacy should be utilized in composition classrooms as a possible stepping stone for approaching new media.
1.) Is their fluidity within her definitional binaries of composer/designer, design/compose, reader/viewer, and reading/viewing?
2.) How do we assess visual impact (76) on the audience? Do we use postmodern binaries and ask if it excites/subdues, pleases/offends, or entertains/informs? Or are we applying traditional rhetorical schemes such as Aristotle's rhetorical appeals, or audience and purpose? And if we use these interpretive frameworks, should we be using the same schemes to analyze visual texts that we use to analyze alphabetic texts?
AND
What is the difference between visual coherence and visual organization? Is it the like the difference between using transition sentences and overall coherence in alphabetic texts?
